“Caught in the web of a dream”

Was it not you that I spied in the garden last night?
When my mind drifted off deep into the dark silence
And I could make out caramel whispers of my name
Sprinkled and intermingled within the cloud of stars

Did you not extend a hand to place upon my shoulder?
While I found myself slipping on fragmented dreams
And you slowly awoke me upon your gentle approach
Preceded by a perfume hinting of a sensual jasmine

And I, deep in slumber, stirred desperately to meet you
To share with you an ecstasy that belonged to only us
I struggled to stay with you as dawn tugged incessant
And I refused to open my eyes in the fast arriving light

Wanting not to slide down the spiral of encroaching day
Resisting the coming of the morning and realities knife
That would slice callously my remaining dream of you
That would sever those strings and bonds between us

Was it not you that I held tightly in my arms last night?
Engrossed in the warmth that only two lovers possess
Embracing in the focused beams of iridescent starlight
Our hearts pressed against each other within their beat

Did you not say that you had secretly always loved me?
And you knew as well as I of what we held to be sacred
That would for an eternity exist and so continue to grow
There as proof that our words were never spoken in vain

And I, without rest, would ensure that the passion lived
Between the soft silken tapestry of our own two souls
Betwixt the threads of an unspoken treasure of intimacy
That spilled out into the sea of tranquility and peace

Wanting not to miss a moment longer without the touch
That would bring ecstasy that much closer to our lives
As we remain pasted in the center of a web of a dream
Stuck between reality and that romance in our hearts
