A Clear Beachside Dream Poem by Dyhanara Rios

I had a dream
Where you were laying next to me
On a blanket on the beach
On the sand in total serenity.

Other than this, the dream was free
Of lucidity; except

Whales and seagulls moved in a blur,
And you did not dare demur
As I pressed my cheek against yours
And felt love radiating out our pores.

Other than this, the dream was free
Of lucidity; but wait!

Now I remember the date;
It was late in December
And somewhat cold,
But our love was a growing ember
Burning for beachdwellers to behold.

Other than this, the dream was free
Of lucidity; except, the place -

It was a beach in South Texas;
I assume South Padre Isle,
As you subtly grazed
The key on my necklace
While our fire of love blazed
On for such a long while.

Other than this, the dream was free
Of lucidity.
