Poetry Month highlights (part 2)

I think I met you once within my dreams
When I was young and hoped I'd find my knight,
But illusion is more real than it seems -
Now here you are, existing in plain sight!
I think I met you in another life,
In some distant and unknown time and space.
Maybe I was destined to be your wife,
And something brought us home within this place.
I think your side is where I'm meant to be,
And your hand's the one that I am meant to hold.
With you, I've never lived so happily;
Together we could face the coldest cold.
My love, the strings of Fate pulled me to you,
A bond hellfire itself could not undo.

Why can't I write about
Anything but you?
My head's usually flooded
With ideas and thoughts immense,
But they don't matter now -
It's all you, you, you
Floating around my skull,
Your name passing my lips,
Pen pouring love onto a page.
How much do stories mean
When real life had a happy ending,
For once, all its own?
Once upon a time I fell in love
With a king, a prince, a knight,
And he made me so much happier
Than any princess, angel, queen
Could ever hope to be,
And we lived happily ever after.
