A Lover's Dream

By: Michael David Coffey

On the oceans of a lover's
dream
I left you there . . .
Among Springtime's
yearnings
of another year --
Apart . . . but
I wept for your touch
my love . . .

On the oceans of a lover's
dream
We parted
in stormy sullenness --
Again
That destiny should have
planned this fate
To see the
angry oceans sweep
away our footsteps

On the oceans of a lover's
dream
Our different lives
taking us away
Yet our paths crossed --
Again, entwined
And from the beginning
we knew --
Our lives were meant
to be --
Together


On the oceans of a lover's
dream
Different worlds,
different ways
Yet the difference --
no meaning
For all the oceans
and all our loneliness
Could not kill our love
Forever we are as one


On the oceans of a lover's
dream
The difference is our
destiny
And no oceans can
drown us
Our love lives on
In the whispering
kisses of the
endless waves
Through all eternity
In the echoes . . .
of a lover's dream.
