Deployed And Dreams Occur Poem by Coreena Dejesus

I wake scrambling in the middle of the night,
Reach for my love my eyes open in fright.
A reality shock your not even there,
Next to me in bed no presence just bare.

I dream as if I'm laying resting on your shoulder fast asleep,
Just to dream I'm with you, your love I keep.
Dreaming one day I'll pack up to leave this horrible place,
I'll be back home surrounded by your warm embrace.

Back in your arms, you holding me tight,
Imaging your next to me, seeing you within my sight.
I awake again, another dream my bed still bare,
Through our vast problems I know within the unconscious mind … I still care.

Oceans apart, the vast distance… I'm so far away,
The love growing stronger… since I left in May.
I'm not angry 'bout my dreams because… It's true,
All my dreams indicate.. I'm madly in love with you.
