[bodytext] => A still night, Clear and peaceful. The moon, A glowing pearl. The stars, Twinkling diamonds. A small breeze As we swing back and forth. The creaking of the Ancient wooden swing Could be heard around the world, But the only sound I can hear Is his Calm, stead breathing: In as we swing back, Nearly brushing the elderly pine behind us, And out as we swing forward, Reaching up to touch the sky. As we pick up speed, His arm discretely slides around my waist, As if keeping me from getting Drawn out of his possession. He pulls me closer. I rest my head so comfortably On his chest. The fresh, soothing scent Of his after shave Takes me away to a mystical utopia. I look up To make sure this is really happening, To assure myself that this is really him. He’s staring off into the distance, But by the outline of his face in the moonlight, And the firmness of his jaw line, There’s no doubt in my mind that it’s him. I lay my head Back down Against his solid frame And we begin to swing higher And faster. A bit too unsafe. It begins to rain. The drops sting my eyes. I strain to see that The sky of jewels has faded. The moon has lost its glow. The surroundings have dimmed. Everything has turned grey. I open my mouth to call out to him, For he is no longer within my reach, But the salty rain demands silence. I close my burning eyes As the world around me transforms. I can hear the whorl of wind and rain As my body spins and tilts. I crash down hard but don’t feel a thing. Silence. I cautiously rise and open my eyes To see nothing but black. A single tear, A salty raindrop, Rolls down my cheek. I turn to my stomach and sigh, If only dreams came true.
