Wake Me When I Start Dreaming

In the ephemeral nature of the changing seasons
Tears overflowed without any reason
The falling sadness changes never
and fertilizes the ground.
Up from it blossomed my stained innocence;
Innocence I gladly gave to you.

Through it all, I raised my head to the sky
Before this body disappears
If my wish reaches you
As these bonds remain untied
Hold me close to you once more.

There was no question to the love I had
Though you answered it without hesitation
At those times you were always kind.
Reminiscent, I push myself to the perfection
As our promises were not granted.

I wanted to be closer by
I can't erase those memories alone.
Even if I disappear
Always, I wish to bloom on your heart.

We held each other close
Don't ever forget that warmth
The warmth that overwhelms the senses.

Your touch
Your voice
Please hold me close once more.

I want to fall asleep
And forget my future without you.
And in my dreams,
I will wake up in your arms.

Author's Note

I don't know if I like it much. I might come back to it, and revise it later because now I can't concentrate very well....

i like it, "I wanted to be closer by
I can't erase those memories alone.
Even if I disappear
Always, I wish to bloom on your heart." & of course the first stanza are my fav's. I've been writing about this kind of topic lately. I don't see much to change but it's your work & the author is always revising & editing --even if it's just subconsciously. I always say oh, i'll go back & work on it later---seldom do, expect that Tantilization piece, finished that 4years later. haha.

I got goosepimples reading this...it's so lovely hun.....soft words...and the emotions are bang on.

[Lena M. P.]

This was beautifully written. The imagery was wonderful. The joy of giving; the sadness of loss. Wonderful.

[The Mad Prophet]

It's not too bad, I can't relate, but it was well writen. The reasoning behind relating comes from myself, knowing I will never get close enough to someone. However this piece tells me what I may be missing in my waisted life, happiness. I do like it, it was real expressed, and I do like dreams. Metaphoric, and real dreams are what we hold this reality with.

You certainly have a way with words, never doubt that. The flow of this poem soothes me and in a sense I can relate to it because of past experiences. It is an excellent piece of work and I look forward to reading more from you.
