One photo of you by my bed A dream catcher over my head Unlocks my dreams to paradise Where I become somewhat paralyzed
My dreams become my escape And I watch you as on a video tape We walked beside the ocean tide You held your hand in mine.
We were walking at a slow pace As I looked into your face You were happy as can be You said you never wanted to leave
I said we would stay here forever Forever and ever together I would catch you in my dream catcher Where we would become a man and woman of great stature
Well, I must apologise. I did not see that you had asked me to read your poems. I guess I should allow my eyes to move left to right once in a while. Darn tunnel vision.
To dream of love and lovers shows your mind is open enough to let the beautiful things in. Don't let your self be "forever" trapped in those dreams though.
It's far better to feel the warmth of a real hand than to settle for the dry mist of a phantom hand in your dreams.
Beyond your dreams, in this world your prolific and heart felt writings have already shown you to be "A woman of great stature."

This is very interesting. On one hand, it seems a little whimsical, and light, on the other, it oozes loss and pain, and even adds a pinch of sarcasm at the end. A good verse to think upon.
I always wanted to set a dream catcher on fire then fill what was left with spent rounds and casings as a tribute to the occupation of Iraq..That's nothing to do with your poem though. I've a habit of writing the first thingth at pops into my head for reviews
"I would catch you in my dream catcher

Would be nice if Dream catchers could hold our dreams and hope. I enjoyed the poem and the ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
