This poem is dedicated to J.M. His thoughts and words were my inspiration for the rewrite. His words and ideas are found throughout the lines. May life be a never ending dance to your favorite song and may all your dreams come true...Apple

*

I feel the light of the day
Looking into your eyes
It slowly creeps across my face like a curtain being drawn
It’s only when I gaze upon you that a new day begins
It is rejuvenating...
And I live

My heart grows strong when my thoughts are on you
You consume every thought, every memory, and every second between them
My passion for you is like oxygen for my lungs
It’s a need, a desire that can never be quenched
It is eternal....
And I love

The music plays and the world dances around me never stopping
Only with you as my partner am I able to interpret notes and maintain the dance
The people around us are but leaves blowing in the wind
You and I are the trees...our branches swaying in the breeze
It is melodic...
And I laugh

But time is a cruel, unfair, undeniable force
It has left me with loved ones gone and missed
Left me with dreams unfulfilled and worse, unforgotten
I beg for time to slow, to stop, to pause for a moment, just one more moment
It is unjust...
And I cry

Before I close my eyes one last time
Before I take my final breath so that I may soar with long forgotten dreams
Dreams that drift endlessly through the unseen waves of eternity
I ask that you remember me, keep me in your thoughts
It is destiny...
And I die

Death, the last adventure...but this journey I must take alone
This time there will be no curtain drawn
No thought, no memory, no music, no dance
I will be with loved ones once again, have my dreams
It is eternity…
And I live

Drawn...

Look it up...educate yourself.

I wanted to address this comment when I first read it, but forgot. Now, I've reread it and it still annoyed me. You could have simply looked up the definition before commenting.

Am I the only one?

I'm bumping on a curtain being "drawn"??

I thought that means closing?

The curtains are drawn...? Does that mean open?

And it's right up top, alongside the lovely image

of sunlight moving across her face.
