Gave Me New Dreams Poem by Louise Tredoux

Firmly anchored in the meanings
you assigned, moored in the warmth
of your mind, joyous in the beautiful
world you sang into being, delighted
with every magical sound, the shim-
mering glory of light frequencies show-
ing in colours and exploding in silver
and gold, a pearly shine in my mind,
a song in my heart, symbols of the
most beautiful ideas you could find,
I’m so enchanted by what you think
and feel, the way your eyes shone
when our lips met, the warmth of
your bed, safe in your arms with the
sound of your bewitching words in
my ears, the world bursting into exis-
tence while sweet voices cheer, you
make fairies dance with your voice,
you bring words to life and anchor
me in the beauty of the most wonderful
feelings, you made me a world, you
gave me new dreams…
