Author’s Note
These short writings where written using a unique style. This style is meant to be read a little slower, from point to point, allowing the emotion in the text to draw out your feelings; allowing you to identify and make personal the subject matter, to visualize it. The second section contains humorous pieces, while the first section is filled with writings of a more serious nature. Please feel free to laugh out loud, or cry if the mood strikes you. But most of all please feel the love I am sending out to all of you through these words. Enjoy!
Don

IN OUR DREAM
I close my eyes. And shut out this world. An undesired reality. Physical plane life. A world of stress. Of pain. Of loneliness. I turn off my sight. My hearing. All external senses. I leave my tired body. And go to you.
Far from me a light winks out. A few last thoughts. A letting go of the day. You fall asleep. Leave your body. And come to me.
We meet in a new reality. A different plane. A world that responds to our every thought. Wish. Desire. One of peace. Of happiness. Of shared love.
We're together. You look up at me and smile. Your beautiful face. Filled with emotion. Passion. Projecting a tender livingness. I receive your thoughts. Your focused attention. I gather my loving response. Create an orb of blue, filled with all the love of which I am capable. And send it gently on to you. Into you. Into your heart.
I reach out and touch the softness of your hair. Smell the richness of your spirit. Your skin. Its smooth texture thrills my every nerve. Pulsating life radiates from each individual cell. Of yours. And mine. Your eyes glow. Your moist lips part in expectation. Anticipation.
The space between us swirls in color. Wisps of blue envelope. Encircle. Enclose. Surround us. Fill our hearts with love. Then soft pink. It deepens. Changes to red, symbolizing our building passion. Ever darker. Deeper. Drawing us together into the vortex of its magic. Into the rhythmic enchantment of promised ecstasy.
We join. Merge into one. And love.
You and I. One and the same. I experience your feelings. Your thoughts. I become you. I am you. And you me. And yet we remain. Ourselves. Fulfilled. Whole.
We share a lifetime. Ten thousand lifetimes. All in a moment of inseparable time. But time is not. Only the eternal now exists. A reality conceived in thought. And constructed with love. Our love.
I awaken. The lingering sensation of your touch is strong. Then gradually fades. Becomes a pleasant mystic memory. A cherished dream.
Until we meet. Again.
In this world. I await another nightfall. And sleep. Another timeless moment with you. Wrapped within the paradise of your nurturing arms. Your loving caresses.
Then together, we will share each other. Again becoming one. Once more exchanging our heart's love. Merging our souls. And experiencing every blissful moment of our created reality. Lost in the swirling mists of passion. In the pure essence of being. In us.
In our dream.
MAYBE TODAY
I gaze upon your radiant smile. A picture of indescribable loveliness. Sunlight dances throughout your eyes. Loving beams of life, caressed as only you are able. Then projected. Their reflection speeds across the space between us. Lighting the fire of my life. Warming my heart. Touching my soul. Stimulating. Searing. Cycling tenderly, within and without.
We lock onto each other's eyes. Those enchanted magnificent eyes. Peering deeply into mine. I'm transported to another world. Another dimension. Time stands still. A moment of suspended perfection. Ours to remember.
The air is still. Warm. Quiet. A hum pierces the silence. An orange breasted hummingbird hovers nearby, investigating its safety. We watch. Entranced. Filled with wonder. Marveling at its gracefulness. Its exquisite beauty. A precious moment of delight. Of sharing. A new memory. Yours and mine.
