Actual Poetry Thursdays! (No.2)

So I know I said last week that this wouldn't be a weekly thing, but lately I have grown a sort of fondness for poetry ... I, as usual blame Nav. This week with have another brilliant poem from terrific author and poet Nicky White. Next week ... we will be featuring the mayhem that is Nav as his poetry needs to be seen.

In Each Other's Dreams

Eyes of blue

Surrounded by seas of gray

Hiding in a mist of solitude

Thick walls of steel

Letting no one in

His public facade masking his private despair

Pushing people away

Despising most

A restless soul wandering

Searching for happiness

Chasing a fantasy

Wanting it for reality

Accepting what is

Yet holding on to what could be

Then he sees her

She shines light in his dark world

Unleashes a fire that tears through him

Igniting his soul into a burning flame

He craves to hear the silkiness in her voice

He yearns to taste her lips

He whispers her name in his dreams

Separated by a sea of tormented reality

Her light shines from afar

He calls out to her

Yet she is just beyond his reach

She begins to heal him from a distance

His soul becoming restless no more

The warmth of her laughter

Warms him from within

Until he can hold her in his arms

Touch her with his lips

He will touch her with his words

Her heart will begin to sing

Every night they’ll come together

And dance in each other’s dreams.
