I Dream of a World

i am trying to tie these emotions
into a neat knot
into words
but i cannot

i am dreaming of fulfillment
i hate that word
it is too lofty
satisfaction is also a very unsatisfying word

i am dreaming of fullness
yes that is a better word
i dream of fullness, of joy
i dream of touch but sweet touch

i dream of a world
where everything is deliberate
where there are no sweet caresses for self-satisfaction
where there is no pretending

i dream of a world
where we say what we mean
but alas i would never dare help to build
that world

but if these dreams remain dreams
then they are not dreams in the least
but mere fancies
dreams are meant to come true

i dream of a world
where beauty is distinct but not exclusive
i dream of a world where there is love.
