Tangible Dreams

If I dream deeply enough  
Will you rise with me in the morning?  
Will you kiss the sunrise onto my eyes  
To make you more tangible than an apparition?  
Be more to me than a midnight visitor  
So real in my arms when my eyes are shut to reality  
I swear, I swear, I swear you were there  
I could feel you, your warmth was there for a moment  
I felt your lips on my cheek, your breath on my face  
It was there, I swear, do you hear me, I swear  
I could smell you like blueberry hotcakes  
With your sweet honey butter filling the air  
Until you were washed away by the salt in my tears  
Can I please dream you into existence?  
Would that be alright with you?  
To conjure you into my flesh and blood world  
From the sparks crackling within my mind?  
Why should someone so sweet and pure  
Live only in my imagination?  
Why do you torture my waking thoughts  
With vagaries of fading memories  
That cling just long enough that I can't forget you  
Yet not long enough to remember how you felt  
Why can't you stay just a little longer?  
To hear the sound of your voice promising your heart  
As the echo of a word that I swear I heard  
I sear, I swear, I swear I heard    
It sounded like the sound my heart cries to you  
Next time you come to ley in my arms  
Say the word as you arrive so I can caress it's sound  
And say it back as a song I want to compose for you  
To write you a poem and recite my soul on your delicate skin  
Please let me at least pretend for just a little while  
Let me hear your promise, let me hear, let me hear
