The Visions I Was Imagining Poem by JAMES T. ADAIR

It is the dance of two that I imagined
smiles
warm embraces
hands grasping and finding
soft entrances
whispy willows bending and bowing
as we passed them

It was you in that dream
your eyes I imagined seeing into so deep
and feeling you smile as you weep
instead of replaying your past as you sleep
Enchanted drives at night
with you by my side so tight
your softness and your warmth
in my mind I already did feel
in dreams these visions I did steal

I dreamt I'd learn more of your playful side
happiness and arms open wide
like children in the park
wanting to play long after dark
So much a woman I imagined you to be
and so many things I wanted to show you
and see the things you wished me to see
I'll miss the feeling of ever feeling that free
in my dreams of you and me

I thought we'd be a strong team
because of all the things we've felt and seen
and all the trouble life has caused
I thought we'd wish for better, just because
Lazy Summer Days
Cozy fireside winter nights
bridal kisses, soft shared delights
I imagined being with you alone
and watching you turn out the light
Serenity, beauty, faithfulnes and little reason to fight
I thought we found in each other a chance for a furtre bright

Children playing and us smiling
all the time dreams of love compiling
I thought we'd share so many sunny days
Fourth-of-July parades and Lemonade
admiring the thing we built together and made
Hoping these simple things shared would never fade
Swimming, biking, and flowered walks
morning coffee and evening cuddles and talks
holding hands gently and playfully as we spoke
the are the dreams from which I awoke

Popcorn at the drive-in movie
and the way your imagined smile might move me
twisty turns on tree-lined backroads
because we met once by fate this crossroad
because of a poem I wrote or the chance to say hello
to the beautiful woman I've always somehow dreamed I'd know
in my mind this was how it could go
if only we took a chance, a dare to know
because so much of life has been wished away
or let to decay and go astray
and I didn't want it to end this way
when I have so much inside I'd just give away
but deep down it was always a home of love
not emptiness, as in today

And so if you wish I'll fade away
never to know what could of come our way
and that's the part that hurts today
the feeling that something wonderful we might be throwing away
What a wonderful life if it had its chance
perhaps it may someday
if we dare to believe
and pray
