Even In Dreams Poem by Wesley Mincin

Even in Dreams

I yearn for a kiss from the lips of thee,
but know that you don't belong to me.
I pray for an embrace from you,
yet this land between us,
these years between us,
and the man of your future,
deprives me of having you.
As you speak to me,
your voice so pure,
a song beyond that of angels,
I cannot help but see past the music,
and realize that I can never,
be the man of the harp,
that strings this sound.
I can never be the knight,
that comes to you upon a steed.
I can never be the man,
whom is privileged to walk at your side,
with a ring on thy finger,
and promise of your loyalty.
I stand at the side,
and watch as you walk,
through the path of life,
your life,
that I will never take part in,
as your lover.
Sometimes a friendship,
is not enough.
When such beauty and grace,
such elegance and will,
intelligence and more,
is in this world-
exists in this world,
as flesh and blood,
like I,
like the rest of the humans,
of this world.
So shall I walk the earth and die
From heaven or hell shall you watch me cry-
my heart cry.
Spartans are strong
But when love has sunk so deep into the soul,
even the strength and will of spartans,
are no match for the overwhelming wrath,
of love.
Pisces
Taurus
Was I born to late?
I guess this is my path
Away from you
How painful it is,
as I watch you walk away,
from the future I want.
Even in my dreams....I can't have you
