Dreaming

Your gaze falls on me

like drops of rain

on a parched earth

Your voice

plays my senses

like a finely tuned violin

Your touch is as soft

as the silken petals

of a rose

Your kiss as sweet

as the nectar
of blossoms

I reach out
to hold you close

and find only air

I open my eyes

You are the dream

that dissolves

every day
