There Is A Man (Poetry)
17th March 2019
THERE IS A MAN
There is a man out there —
a man I’ve never met
and he dreams about me
though he doesn’t know it yet
in his dreams I’m happy
and still young
love is perfect — far too perfect
to go wrong
his story is my story
and we share
dreamtime in some world
without a care
naked hearts and bodies
free of shame
strangers that the dark
forgot to name
I feel him now —
his breath against my skin
we cannot talk because
the walls are thin
one night he’ll turn
and by the moon he’ll see
the shadow in his mind
belongs to me
