Creative Writing: Expressing My Feelings...

"The Dream"...

"I awoke from a deep sleep, and found her there,
her body resting gentley on top of mine..."

She traced the contours of my face with her eyes, slowly...

I felt her breath against my mouth, like a warm sweet mist...

She was like medicine - A blanket for the freezing...


She spoke in a whisper - "Good morning" - a tender smile forming across her lips...

I felt my bones give way - and a deep weakness overtake me...

I collapsed within myself, like giving up the ghost -
and I could feel tears welling up in my eyes...

It was if a great stone had given way and fallen within my soul...

I felt her hair as it brushed over my face like the passing of a feather - God - it smelled sweet...

She tenderly kissed the corner of my mouth - and I drank it in...

My body began to tremble...

I could feel the tears rolling down my face from the corners of my eyes - as her face waxed expressions of loving graces...

I prayed within myself "God please let it stop - or let it never end"...

I couldn't speak...I didn't want to move...

I knew her...I recognized her...but I didn't even know her name...

Though I tried - I could not remember one moment of our lives together...

Somehow - I only knew that I loved her more than life...More than anyone or anything in this world...I was filled with confusion...

I didn't want to spoil it - I didn't want to disturb or interrupt this...I just wanted to surrender and belong to her...
But - I had to know...

"Who are you?...Do I know you?" I asked - or rather pleaded in a faint, quivering, broken voice - my entire body shaking - as if undergoing blissful, yet profound convulsions - like the sickness that overtakes a man after he has starved and thirsted to the limit of his being - and then had warm bread and cool, sweet water placed upon his tongue...

She answered me - "No...But you will"...

I awoke from a deep sleep...

I was alone.
