'Late Night Meal In The Dreamscape': A Poem by Jeffrey Yamaguchi

LATE NIGHT MEAL IN THE DREAMSCAPE
There in the distance
we take our seats in this dream
a table set for two
An old story I always tell
is shared through an out of nowhere cool breeze
that lofts the sun-warmed wisps
of your shimmering black hair
You tell me a secret
by having a cloud
pass over the sun
for the briefest of moments
Our laughter is the rushing thrum
of unseen waves
beyond the hills but
so very close to our hideaway perch
The meal is exactly
what we had all those years ago
in the beachside restaurant without walls
that stayed open late just for us
I know we'll see that
mermaid in lights
on the deserted roadside
as we head back home
One more drink before we leave
our raised glasses clink
and my eyes open to see yours
glowing in the light of a new moon
