Poetry Post 80

My Dream
My dream of love is as persistent as a drumbeat
A mind consuming puzzle that's never complete
It tears and devours me like the beast of the wilderness
Driven to pursue it but left in loneliness
It is my never-ending search of Eldorado
A haunting shadow that follows me wherever I go
But when the dream is real to me
A world of paradise I begin to see
My dream is a warm, secure blanket
A reality that hasn't come yet
But even if it takes all my life
I shall find that loving, caring wife

Ode To My Love
Looking outside what do I see
There is a girl I do see
Flowing hair, loving heart, athletic body
Beyond compare of any other beauty
I see her, wishing she would choose me
But she with her inner and outer beauty
Can find someone much better
Someone who'll take care of her
So this is my written confession
Although my love will never lessen
I must hide in isolation
Since no one is worthy of her in all creation

Ashleigh Reynolds

Ashleigh is the name of my fiery passion
My woman of intimate compassion
My truest friend by daylight
My lover during the night
I love you more than vain treasure
You are my soul's sole pleasure
True happiness is simply to please you
It is all my heart longs to do
