HOW MANY TIMES?

How many times have you appeared in my dreams

With your mouth full of lark songs

Your tongue dizzy with a pink-petal taste

Of secret fairy tales whispered to you by the clouds?

How many times have you appeared in my dreams

As a caring lover and passionate being

Exposing your white teeth to my glance

Displaying your facial features with a wink?

How many times have you appeared in my dreams

With your sweet words from a tamed tongue

How many times have you come to my defence

Just for the protection of a loved one?

How many times have you appeared in my dreams

And made me the happiest weird mammal

You take me to a different creation of a world

How many times have you stolen my vulnerability?

How many times have you appeared in my dreams

And convinced me that dreams are vivid and real

How many times have you shown me that love is forever

How many times have you taught me the beauty of living?
