["It's only make believe"]

In dreams all is real.. Title of song ["It's only make-believe"] by Conway Twitty

 

In my heart I hold you

My thoughts on you alone

Every fiber of my being is of you

Only you.

 

My hopes, dreams, all I am

I pray one day you to see

How much you mean to me

Eyes closed against the dark.

 

For light is what I wish

To fill my heart

My thoughts

My ever-lasting dream.

 

Does the heart stop beating?

Does the agony I feel go away?

On command, on a wish?

For this I can not control.

 

Yes my love

Even though it's only make believe

My dream is for you to one day see

My love, dreams, all it means.

 

To feel the warmth within

The stars shinning bright

The moons glow

Lovingly looking down.

 

For my heart I can not control

To stop my one and only prayer

For my hopes and dreams to come true

For my life I would give to you.

 

But alas..

Once more..

 

It's myself I deceive

For I know what is inside

What makes the heart grow

What your's doesn't show.

 

For this I do see..

 

Then comes the darkness again..

And once again I see

 

Yes...

 

It's only make believe...

"It's myself I deceive" This has more meaning to me than you know a truthbearing line if ever there was one!
But What I feel is not "make-believe" the dreamed of outcome may well be, but that is neither here nor there.
This may be "make-beleive yet it stirkes me that the persona want's very much for "make-believe" to become reality. Well This brings out that yearning clearly IMHO a well written piece worthy of one much more experenced in writing poetry. Once again my friend you have "Crossed the Bar!"

Oh .. how the heart can play such cruel "make-believe" tricks on us.. sometimes it's not real and sometimes it is.. how hard it can be to know. I can sooo relate to this... even when falling in love.. to find years down the road.. that all was not as we thought it to be. Love is an endless masquerade ball.. whereby many hide their true intentions and real faces! I so tire of the game of love.. tire of the hurt.. disappointment.. lies.. and how pitiful it is that we get up again and again when slammed to the ground... Fighter or Fool.. only the individual can decide!!! Our dreams deceive us.. our passions as well trick us.. suck us in hook, line and sinker!! Love the flow, rhythm and emotions that I can only so well relate to. ... sadly. Being human .. wishing to be immortal.. held by an all encompassing love throughout life and eternity.. it's the ultimate fantasy! Great work! =)

This poem has such a great meaning especially for me. Falling for someone in my own world and hoping one day she would see me as someone more. Oh how the heart does play games with our mind.

GULP... wow that was really deeply passionate... the feeling of longing and desire certainly capture the essence of this piece... great style again. Very creative and emotional.
