Again, just a dream

~

 

Lost in the silence where dreams now awaken,

closing my eyes to the stress of the day

Feeling alone and a little forsaken,

wishful these moments that come into play

 

Wondering if it is imagination,

bringing these thoughts on this evening to me

Something to quell all this anticipation,

answers to questions my heart longs to see

 

Now as I fall off my mind it is reeling,

fading to gray now that slumber is due

Shadows and shimmers the scene now revealing,

fantasies breathe at the edge of the view

 

There is a field filled with beautiful flowers,

rainbows and butterflies scatter the air

As if I have some incredible powers,

here in this place that I'm longing to share

 

Evergreen trees line a path I am strolling,

squirrels and bluebirds at play looking on

Daffodil whispers cross hills now are rolling,

dewdrops like diamonds reflect on the lawn

 

Then as I see it, your smile does glisten,

warm like a summer breeze gently a’ flow

Singing a song filled with love as I listen,

comfort becomes in the light of it's glow

 

You take my hand and my troubles start leaving,

soft as a feather this feeling of bliss

It is right now that my world is believing,

as you lean forward to give me a kiss

 

It's then I notice the dawning sun rising,

painting the sky as I open my eyes

Morning has come, though it is not surprising,

again just a dream, that I soon realize

 

It is the same every night as I'm sleeping,

almost those beautiful lips I might feel

Only to be left alone steady weeping,

finding each day is the only thing real

 

So as I sit here my weary heart breaking,

truth is my darkness however it seems

Another day in these moments I'm taking,

hoping again you appear in my dreams

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

How breathtaking our days could be if they were as real as these dreaming moments in your poem. So flowing and floating, emotion and time seems to stand still here. However, I also like the realism in between showing that romantic fantasy is not what it seems.. sometimes its a few minutes of quietness shared. Paying bills so the burden is taken off your partner. Cooking while the others prepares or tidies up the kitchen . These are all romantic gestures too. Especially when they are done in unison or without prodding from one another. I think we all spend too much time trying to live in the perfect. We don't put enough effort into seeing the real and loving the good parts. I think this piece reminds me of that, so Thank you for the directional push,

You are so very correct my friend. Most of the time it is those little, seemingly insignificant actions that mean everything in the world. Small things that say I love you. Thank you for your wonderful review of my poem. I am thrilled you liked it

[Susan 🦋]

This is the poetry that embraces the heart leaving you wanting to know more (or maybe it's just me ;) There is a truth in your theme. Sometimes, closing our eyes and escaping from life's realities is all we long for. Beautifully written and expressed.

[willweb]

Thank you Susan. Yes, sometimes reality is a bit much, it is nice to escape every once I a while. I am happy you enjoyed this one so much.

Another romantic write, willweb. I think everyone has dream't of a beautiful love in the night only to have it shattered with the first rays of dawn. Dreams can be beautiful but also cruel sometimes. Excellent rhyming as always. I enjoyed your midnight dreaming.

[willweb]

Thanks so much. Happy you enjoyed this.

Ahh,
dearest Will...dreams, dreams, dreams..
How we long for them...and hope they are what we really want.
I so loved each and every word you wrote... Love the font you used.
I am curious about one thing... I see commas at the end of every other line but no punctuation anywhere else???
Just wondering...

Thank you Lisa. I am not big on punctuation but I do like to place a comma where I would like the reader to pause. I appreciate you stopping by and I am happy you enjoyed what you found.

[Lisasview]

I only said something about punctuation because i know that it can help make a poem more powerful.read moreI only said something about punctuation because i know that it can help make a poem more powerful.

"Now as I fall off my mind it is reeling,
fading to gray now that slumber is due
Shadows and shimmers the scene now revealing,
fantasies breathe at the edge of the view" Beautiful I love the imagery you transported me to the exact location of these emotions.
