This morning I woke up with a start and felt for you -
I had been dreaming and I dreamt you were in a far off country
Through half-closed eyes I reached out for you; then felt you beside me
Oh, Orchid Lady, I am so glad my dream was only segments of imagination.
The moment my outstretched hand touched you I felt your warmth.......
....I experienced the love and the security you gave to the touch of my fingers
Had you not been there as I hurriedly tried to open my sleeping eyes.......
....my whole world would have lost all semblance of its meaning.
For a few moments I lay on my back gathering my thoughts together
My fast-beating heart gradually returned to its normal rhythm and I smiled with relief
To have found myself without you would have felt like a concerto without music
Your love for me means more than the very air that is so vital for our existence.
When I touched you the real world slowly came back into my thoughts
You stirred in your sleep; then I realised I had disturbed your own dreams
Sleep on my love for I am here beside you; held captive by your beauty
I'm so glad you weren't awake to witness the way I woke up in such a panic.
So much has been written about people and the love they share.......
....yet no author or poet has ever written about the love binding us together
Life without you would change the very fabric of this word we call reality
There would be no days of sunlight, only a continuous life of complete darkness.
Now I am fully awake - to see you in this early morning light fills me with happiness
I know full well you are the one good reason in my life; my own Orchid Lady
No flower on this earth could ever display the beauty my eyes see in you.......
....my love, you are my world and the future of my hopes and dreams.
