In dreams

\nI dream about your happiness at night
\nAnd see you in the beauty everywhere
\nThe thought that you love me turns on the light
\nWith every sign of love I walk on air
\nI swim within the messages you write
\nAnd dance to all the love songs that we share
\nI thought my love had died when I was young
\nAnd now new hope of happiness is sprung<\/p>\n
I wish you peace and pleasure every day
\nAnd see that you are all that I could need
\nYou’re the one that I would walk with all the way
\nThe sustenance on which I want to feed
\nI rejoice in all the lovely things you say
\nI wallow in each new and loving deed
\nI thought that I was stuck with what I had
\nBut now I see the future and I’m glad<\/p>\n
When we are left alone there’s only one
\nThere can’t be any need to call us two
\nThe thought that I’m in love is all the fun
\nAnd better now I know the thought is true
\nI dream a new existence has begun
\nWhen I am only half of me and you
\nA life without a love is not for me
\nMy dreams each night and day have set me free<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nAn Ottava Rima, ancient Italian verse form rhymed abababcc, not as old as the
\nSonnet (seems to have originated with Ariosto in about 1500) but then how many
\nverse forms are!
\nTraditionally in Iambic pentameter, (or four iambs and an amphibrach to
\naccommodate a feminine rhyme).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
