The sum of my dreams,
Add up to eternity,
And still I could not tell you,
What it means when I say,
I will love you forever and a day…
Strange how different we are,
Yet the same,
You live for now,
Wondering what you will gain,
And I,
I live in yesterday,
And dream of tomorrow,
Wondering when you will come…
You say you will love me forever,
And someday I will see,
How true and wonderful,
Your love can be…
But,
What is forever?
Is it now?
Is it then?
Is it when our lives end?
Soft blue skies,
Floating dragons in the sky,
I saw a swan yesterday,
Its wings spread much too wide…
And inside,
Such sweet sorrow,
As I watched her glide by,
Where was her mate?
Why was she alone?
Ah the Gods how they play us,
And tempt us with fate…
Across the deep sea,
A man waits for me,
And I wonder if I shall ever see,
The love he holds for me…
Or like the swan,
Shall I sail on with the wind?
Drifting in the shadows,
Until forever becomes me…
Forever,
A song that we sing,
Not knowing the sorrow that it brings,
When tomorrow refuses to come,
Will our love be undone?
Step back my love,
Come back into yesterday’s dream,
I fear Forever will come to late,
And I cannot wait…
Come to me now,
Let me touch your sweet brow,
Run my fingers over your lips,
And silence your prophecies of tomorrow,
Let us end this sweet sorrow!
Kiss me now,
Today-
Welcome me into your arms,
With the love in your heart,
Promise me again,
That we shall never part…
But Forever?
Forever is too far away,
I need you now my love,
Today…

.... and the rest of your words build up and progress so fine to make a smooth transition to the "KISS ME NOW" part. THAT JUST BLEW ME AWAY! The swan images... and the questions too. You gave me chills. What a poet! Fine poet.

Retta ..you have outdone yourself...incredible piece!!..it's in my library..
forever lies in the now, does it not? i think of it in a macro-cosmic way...they say that within each atom is an infinite distance, and, if the trusim, as above so below does reflect reality, why should that not apply to time as well as space? well written piece, poet! thank you!
