“I felt myself melting into my dream …”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I felt myself melting
Entering this dream
Dissolving downward down
Being absorbed
Swallowed up into
The place I had been going
For three nights now
The dream … repeating over and again
Of those times long ago when I was yours
And you were mine
Time dissolved into frenzied
Twisted sheets and FM radio waves
Made popular by late night disc-jockeys
Exhaled smoke drifted around us
Empty wine glasses
Lay strewn about like
The lifeless clothes
Beside them
Dreams take place
In dimensional space
Where we relive those moments
We believed would last
For all time
But fate played her hand
We were meant to be together
Only until we moved on
But for three days we visit
This quiet place where
We share private yearnings
Glad to touch visceral reflection
Tucked away under lock and key
Stored away in our minds
Until next we meet
I felt myself melting into my dream
Sinking downward quickly
Entering this mystical place
Where time stands still
We embrace
No time has passed at all

Theresa, that was amazing! It’s worth whatever it takes to have moments like these. I’m awestruck. Beautiful! You had me from the very first line! “I felt myself melting”. I liked the way you came back round to that thought at the end. This is really one to be proud of!
And I Love the picture. Every day I thank God/The Universe/Revlon for makeup and hair care products!

Thank you. I enjoyed inserting this little-used word as it was precisely what I was looking for.
