Recalling the Dream

based on my true love story

Recalling the Dream

Sam Adams
Always recalled
The special
day that he met
His fate

And ended his lonely life
When he met and married
The love of his life

Reminiscing
about the dream
That brought them together

In his dream
He fell asleep
In his class

And saw
The most beautiful women
In the universe

Speaking to him
In a weird foreing language

He was mesmerized
Her love mojo
Putting a spell on him

For eight years
She haunted his dreams

But he knew
that someday

She would
become his wife
darling, honey
And special eternal Valentine

Then one day
his hopes
Were realized

She walked off a bus
In South Korea
Into his life

He looked at her
With excitement
It was her
The girl in the dream

The next night
She was waiting for him
At his class

They went out for coffee
She told him
He was hers
And she was his

Love at first sight
As sparks flew
From heart to heart

A few days later
He had a surprise for her
After dinner
Over coffee and red chocolate cake

He proposed to her
Promising to be always
Her man

She hugged him
Kissed his cheek
And said

“yes”

Six weeks later
They married,








Romance is in the air, and I see fluttering hearts as well as sweet words everywhere.

I always been in love with words, especially poetry, for me, they are like flowers that have their own beauty, they are able to last their fragrance, and will stay in ones' heart.

Some of these are:
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
.

(exerpt From William Shakesphere-Sonnet 18)
Or like some all time favorite love poems:

"if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.

(excerpt from if-you-forget-me-by-pablo-neruda)

Or like the poetry of our Mr. Heart Throb Poet 2025 here in WDC wonder Land.


We shared that springtime day and many more
on walks, and talked of winters and of springs.
We talked of life upon a distant shore,
until at length, we talked of wedding rings.


(Excerpt from (292) - "Our Walk With Love --- A Sonnet"
