Bridge of Yesterdays Dreams

I'll meet you on the bridge
There in the clearing mist
The music of your soul
I find I'm unable to resist

As our heart's breaths mingle as one
I can feel the strength of your desires
You feel how all our senses combined
Only tend to fuel the fires

A fire shared never goes out
But it can be banked for awhile
The warmth of the hues within us
Gives our souls reason to smile

And if for not our fate
Please you must remember this
That sense your heart longed for most
Let your soul feel my kiss

The music in my heart
Much too perfect for words
The joy in my soul
Knows no boundries

With my eyes closed my soul seeks yours
Senses are vibraint colors that only hearts see
Our souls dance to a symphony
Only hearts hear

Over our bridge glitters a rainbow
Our souls become rich as if gold
Lonliness vanishes as we open our hearts
Our souls share a common home

I am but a ghost from the past
On the bridge to remember yesterday's dreams
Remembering when souls touched and eyes kissed
Nothing vocalized a wealth of understanding found

Even as the mist thickens
My memories warm me
And my heart still blushes
with the purity of feelings shared
 
Remembering when love was but a curiosity
When fantasies were the heart's romances
Lonliness comes when the shadows
Of yesterday's memories heighten the senses

Remembering a first glance...the blush   
Of a shy heart as eyes first met      
Weaving golden threads in two lives
Whose futures have yet to be set   
 
Remembering all the shared memories
While walking love's rainbow'd hues
Learning all love's vast treasures
But love doesn't always walk the path we'd choose
 
Remembering when love was but a curiosity
When fantasies were the heart's romances
Lonliness comes when the shadows
Of yesterday's senses heighten the senses
 
Lost in yesterday's dreams
I arrive where they began
Exactly halfway across
The Bridge of Yesterday's Dreams
