Woven Tapestry of Dreams - A Sestina

The sun took by heart the ocean my soul
but, to you,  I freely gave the gift of love
we shared poetry, made love with words
we danced somewhere beyond the clouds
I heard the songs that you sang just for me
I fell in love with a once in a lifetime dream

The road to happiness begins with a dream
in a parallel world we touched soul to soul
mysteries of night,  enchantment found me
through the darkness shone a star of love
visions became clear with passing clouds
how can I express, what I feel with words

In our world we penned beautiful words
we slept in the woven  tapestry of dreams
moonlight gleamed between fading clouds
in distance waves  drifted pieces of my soul
searching for the truest meaning of love
time and space seemed non-existence to me

In our parallel world was a place for you and me
poetic verses from our lips, formulating words
tuning into the continuous frequency of love
pursuing greater connections in shared dreams
opening the gateways to the desires of the soul
touching heart to heart,  high above the clouds

Behold skies of blue, behind misty clouds
take my hand my dearest love and follow me
let us share the cloaked mysteries of our souls
seduce me once again with magical words
free falling into the land of mystical dreams
hear our heart beat, to the melody of love

Exploring  the depth of unexplained love
light will appear in disappearing clouds
we are the creator of our precious dreams
in the imaginary realm you will find me
sitting under an oak tree, penning words
giving you pieces of my heart, body and soul

Holding dreams, my heart is a place of love
desires of the soul, shine through the clouds
converse with me, let the wind carry our words

author's note:  I tried a Sestina for dVerse
sharing with . Poets United - Pantry 492  
This was challenging and I hope I remained
true to the form.

If you are out there this one is for you!
