5 minute poetry

[Hatake Kakashi]

Be gentle... this is my first time.


Beyond measure, beyond time or space
I have dreamed of the one who waits for me
Slowly her touch embraces me
Her gossamer lips whispering words I cannot understand
Yet my whole life, I've understood their truths
Alas, she only touches me as I dream

I wake and long for the comfort
Of feeling her body beside my own.
Alone, my heart begins to break, as the warmth
That was so real a moment ago fades into nothing
And my whole life, I've endured this pain
Of knowing her absence from me

How long must I endure?
My guess is that not even the fates can know.
Is the one I have sought even real,
Or merely my mind soothing my heart
As I lay down to dream again?

Would that I know love as I dream
A love that exists for me, only there
It cannot last, I know too well
For such luxury is not meant for me
Still, I cling to her, lost in her embrace
Beyond compare, the love of my dreams
