“The Other Side of Our Dreams” – a poem
A new âȘromantic⏠âȘpoem⏠on the âȘI Love Romance Blog!
The Other Side of Our Dreams
Â
Do you sleep?
Do you dream?
At night, do you sleep in hopes of meeting me when you wake?
Do you dream, dream of me the way I dream of you?
Do you pray?
Do you pray youâll see my face? To hold me tight?
Because I think of you every nightâŠ
Every day, of course, but each night many times before I sleep.
Itâs not because Iâm lonely.
When the dayâs demands are winding down, the night gets so quiet you can only hear your heartbeat, the soft thump aligned with crickets humming in the darkness.
I think of you, imagine your face, your voice blessing me, your arms surrounding me.
I donât think of you because Iâm lonely and I need someone, just anyone.
Youâre in my thoughts, always.

Cool News!
I won the 2015 PnPAuthors Contest for poetry! My winning poem, “Lovers Like Us”, ended up in an anthology with the other participants, but I got the first page. How awesome is that? đ
Poets & Writers in Action is comprised of both poetry and short stories. A few other writers that made it into the anthology were Deepak Menon, Robin White, Terry Gilbert, Raven Wilkie, Vinita Singh, and several more.
Here is the book, released just yesterday, with my poem! If you check out the ‘preview’ option on the site, you can read the poem if you scroll through the first few pages! đ

“Blessed” – a poem
A new love poem!
Blessed
Â
Itâs beyond words what I feel for you,
but I always try to capture it.
I can only say I feelâŠ
blessed.
The way you draw me close,
holding me tight,
Iâve never felt so safe with anyone else.
I can only feelâŠ
blessed.
 
The way you speak those words,
professing your love,
saying youâll always take care of me,
I can only feelâŠ
blessed to have you.
Looking into your eyes,
a fascinating mix of brown and green,
the way you kiss me and my eyes drift closed,
I can only feelâŠ
blessed.
When you smile at me or give me that gaze full of affection,
the way we work so well together,
even when we link hands and they fit so perfectly,
I can only feelâŠ
blessed beyond measure.
Our hearts,
our souls connect,
our bodies were made for each other.
I can only feelâŠ
