“Poetry Offering, #4, Dream Reality
Dream Reality
You have a strange effect on me
Like a hallucinogenic drug
When you come into a room unexpectedly
Everything shrinks except you and I
My total perception is altered
My right hand doesn’t know what my left is doing
I am floating in an inexplicable cloud
Of almost unbearable tension
You have the power to shake my very life
Your influence does not weaken, even though
You may be absent from my life
For long periods of time
You are at my core
The center of my being
I wish I could allow myself
The full pleasure
Of your presence

I wrote this trying to describe the effect my late husband James had on me whenever he was around, before I really had any kind of relationship with him. Obviously, there was a very strong sense of his physical presence…….this pic is from a few years later, after we married.
