In my dream she took the seat beside me in a crowded theater
Strangers of long acquaintance
Surprised
Well met
In my dream she laid her hand on my forearm
Casually
Without intention
So it seemed
In my dream she told the room we’d soon be lovers
She and I
Jealousy surrounded
She was known to all
In my dream the theater had no screen
No stage
No show
All eyes on me and her
In my dream she draped her leg across my leg
Head on shoulder
Her perfume filled my nose
Warmth spread
In my dream her mouth pressed against mine
Arms encircled
Hands caressed
Time did not exist
In my dream there was music
Both loud and soft
Fast and slow
Rock and roll
In my dream her hair was dark and wavy
Eyes bright
Lips warm
Skin soft
In my dream, as in all things, there was an ending
She moved away
Found another seat
Another lover from among the crowd
I awoke, alone
Her scent still in my nose
Her taste still on my lips
I walk through my work day wondering
Where is this theater?
How do I get back there?
Where is my audience?
Where my lover?
That was hot and sweet...I read it three times in a row.
