The Thinker's Thoughts - Poems from the Heart & Mind

14. Midnight Dreams

The ignition turns on

A rumble starts

The seat creaks and the wheel turns

Out of the driveway

The headlights shine into the silent night

Passing houses in the street

A sweet rosy smell enters your nose

From the familiar scent in the car

Eyes gliding across the darkness of the night

Corners turned with caution

Breath held

As you enter the carpark

You hear the familiar crash and rumbling

Of your sanctuary

The comfort in your chaos

Your friend, the ocean.

Your fingers glide over the the door

Feet slipping out of your flip flops

Touching the cool texture

Of the sand below your feet

A small smack as the door closes

A sudden beeping sound

As the keys lock the car

Inhale. Exhale.

Your face turns to the ocean

And a smile spreads across your cheeks

Hair dancing in the wild wind

Your toes stretch and squeak

As you take slow steps

Towards the waves

Before you, you see your friend

Crashing wildly, unafraid

Powerful. Merciless.

As you come closer to the water

The taste of salt lands on your tongue

A sweet reminder of the freedom

This magical place provides

Your face lifts to the stars

Twinkling bright

Glowing grains of light

Speckled across the sky

The moon glowing in silver

Waves touched by its transcending enchantment

As you quietly stand with your feet

In the refreshing water's edge

A light, sudden sound

At first, is it real?

But then, another

A long whistle carried across the wind

Fingers perched on your lips

A confirmation sound in return

A small smile across your lips

As your steps become light

Sinking sand as your steps quicken

And a yell escapes your mouth

A sound of pure joy, of wild abandon

In the distance, a figure

At first, held in the shadows

But your eyes find theirs

As you run into their arms

A moment of wild heart beating

Of breathless joy

Until an inner warmth

Embraces your soul

A state of longing mirrors your eyes

A look of yearning held within them

And then, before your mind can comprehend

Warmth encompasses your lips...

Sweet passion tangles you together

An urgency of feeling

The need to express without the necessity for words

Hearts beating rawly in synchronisation

Hands grasping at your hair

Arms protecting a moment of bliss

And in it
Refusing to acknowledge
That all of this magic
Could never come true.
