Days overdue

~

Dreams may find us where we sleep,

wrapped up for the night

Safely in our chambers dark,

neath our covers tight

 

Drowsy under moon beam glow,

comforting the feel

Born within a fantasy,

nothing close to real

 

Far beyond the deepest stare,

vanilla coated skies

Rolling hills to anywhere,

breaths of passion’s sighs

 

Sunset laughter, twilight seams,

footprints in the sand

Leading to our every wish,

strolling hand in hand

 

Often, we may find a dream,

waiting at our door

When the sun is shining bright,

wide awake once more

 

One who sends a perfect view

upon a summer breeze

Blooming through the countryside,

echoing the trees

 

You, I find are such a dream

before my eyes to see

Bumblebees and butterflies,

fragrance flowing free

 

Mountain streams of aqua blue,

clouds of whispered white

Daffodils and lavender,

enchanting is the sight

 

As each day does start anew

dew drop clover sings

Melodies of what you are,

all your smile brings

 

Proving now that as I sleep,

my days are overdue

For when I wake, if you I see,

my dreams have all come true

So good.
Beautiful flowing rhymes build up to fantastic end stanza.

Glad you liked this one Ana. Dreams seem to find me whether I am awake or not and often they rhyme when they do. : )

I hope the subject is there when the speaker wakes.
This is so carefully worded, and the rhyme so intricately sewn.

Thanks so much Jacob. I guess it depends on how either one of us defines, "there when I awake".

This is SO BEAUTIFUL...it is literally like a dream. Such vivid scenery and fantasy like imagery as I walk through your world in my mind...the colors and sounds become real upon the screen and I sense the tenderness of this lovely you write of and wish for it all the same in my own world.

A delight as always, Will!

Hey there neighbor, thanks so much. I do seem to dream quite a bit it seems and usually while I am awake. : ) Thanks for stopping by.

I loved the opening stanza of this poem:
" Dreams may find us where we sleep,
wrapped up for the night
Safely in our chambers dark,
neath our covers tight"
It setts the scene and mood. Will you are one of my favorite romantics in poetry. Your wording has a lightness to it that seems almost ethereal. Your stanza:
"One who sends a perfect view
upon a summer breeze
Blooming through the countryside,
echoing the trees"
contains a poetic beauty to it at more than one level involving three different senses with continuity in one sentence. Lovely my friend.

Soren my friend, you truly do humble me with your kind comments about my poems. I am thrilled that you enjoy them so much and I appreciate you very much. Thanks again.
