I Know You

just some mushy dreamy stuff and fluff

I know you

I dreamed you in a dream
one Summer night
you wrapped your arms around me
made a dying rose bloom

I know you

I heard you in the wind
you said my name
made it your own
sweetest song I ever heard

I know you

I saw your face in a cloud
on a Winter's day
perfect and strong
turning gray skies blue

I know you

I felt your lips on mine
I picked the loveliest rose from the vine
pressed it to my lips
tasted sweet as wine

I know you

Though I never met you
you're no stranger to me
I dreamed you long long ago

Some dreams do come true

I know you

I really liked lines 7-10. It's so true, how someone can say more than just your name by saying it. The inflection and the body language someone can put into anything they say, especially your name...It's so powerful. It's one of those tiny things about love that makes everything so worth it--even if it's over, that person said my name that certain way, and that can never change.

And how you "knew" the person before you ever met him (if you even have yet): What a great way to express how love is an idea that is greater than the lovers. It's something that is pure, if not perfect. It's almost as if it exists regardless or whether we do or not.

Well done.

This is wonderful in it's simplicity. this is the type of poetry that I like. It doesn't try to dazzle the reader with the enormous vocabulary of the poet. It isn't written in some secret language that only the members of some counter culture speak and understand.

It's simply thoughts, musings and emotions torn open raw for all to see.

I am adding it to my favorites.

This is really up there with your best work. The use of repetition is really well done and not heavy-handed in the least. I love the dreamy quality of this and the simply written lines. It would be so easy to over do something like this, but instead you give us a wonderful poetic gem. :)

hypnotic and mantra-like....very effective.....

I always wanted someone to accept me for me. Just me.
Attitude aside, charades aside, the "front" aside.
To know me. To feel me. To see me.
To accept what was really there, always under the surface, sometimes still, sometimes quiet. But always there.
Beautifully penned!
Brava!

[The Autumn Faerie]

It is quite good, nonetheless.
Many people could learn from your simple style.
It's very endearing, yet sincere in appearance.
Very enjoyable! ^_^

I think greatness is in the eye of the beholder really and I think this poem is great. There are so many great images and feelings here, not fluff at all. This piece really brightened my day, than you very much for sharing your great write.

[Jane Doe]

So beautiful. I really liked the repition of the line 'I know you.' You have a definite gift with words.

[April Child]

Its a lovely poem. Left me feeling all drifty and smiling.

I dreamed you in a dream
one Summer night
you wrapped your arms around me
made a dying rose bloom

My only suggestion would be that the 'I know you' could be dropped from the main body of the poem and just kept to the first one and last one, I don't think you needed the repitions but maybe that's just me :)

Aw Chloe, this very nice.
I heard you in the wind
you said my name
made it your own
sweetest song I ever heard ... I liked this stanza the most, it warmed my heart. Very sentimental and sweet.
