Analysis of Dream Lover

Theresa Bell 1956 (Uxbridge)



He comes in the night
In my hopes, my dreams
Shadows falling
He appears by my side.
Reaching, holding tight,
The heat of the sun
We create inside
Our hearts beating
rhythms fast dance
I lose myself in his arms,
Two streams joining, we run together
and escape into the open sea
Like two lovers, souls entwined.
Thunder rolls, the skies light,
As we become one with each other.
The night, the darkness, is my salvation.
It takes me away and makes me whole.
My dream lover, I love you.
