~ I had a Dream

 

When I dozed off into a deep sleep

Curled eyelashes smiled

Cheeks blushed and

My mouth that peaceful

 

I saw a new world,

One of pink travels

Cotton visions

And surreal love

 

I had a dream

 

I walked through

Shadowed roads

Winked to silken skies

Smelled the Cherry Blossom

 

Danced in circles

Sung out loud

Faced my youth

Into deeper levels

 

I had a dream

 

Heard a violin, a Cello

And some piano notes

I touched the sky

And kissed the ground

 

Walked by the fields of hope

Resting and lying on my back

Then I smiled and smelled

My pillow

 

I must have had a dream

I think it's interesting how we are able to do anything in our dreams as opposed to real life...also see anything, touch and smell anything, go anywhere we'd like. Our minds always take us to new places or just the places we'd like to be. Our dreams are the perfect place for fantasy to take place :)

That is so true dear friend. I have each night at least 2 vivid dreams, sometimes more, and always when I am just about to wake up.... "A vivid REM sleep" this one I had the first of January... Thank you so much for your words, thoughts, and philosophy with a most interesting subject, dreaming... :)

[DoNt LoSe YoUrSeLf]

Yeah, I've had some interesting dreams lately. I don't remember quite what they were about, but I do know they took me to a new place that set me free.

Isn't that the most beautiful thing?..... :-)

[DoNt LoSe YoUrSeLf]

Yes, it really is :) Put a huge smile on my face and left me in a daze when I woke up. I was thinking about what happened and where I went all day.

You're a vivid person, I can tell you ;-)

[DoNt LoSe YoUrSeLf]

Haha, vivid?

In other terms; alive, in spirit, observation, and not afraid to let in some of your true feelings...

[Calissa Knox]

I love the imagery in this piece. It was like a "mental vacation" for me. I felt like I was actually in the magical world - walking on a beautiful road, and feeling music come to life around me. I could almost smell the cherry blossoms, and hear the singing. Sometimes dreams are more vivid than life, and the magical worlds we create can seem more beautiful than the world we live in sometimes. This is such a wonderful poem!

Oh thank you very much for your nice words my friend, I appreciate it that you go also through my older pieces, so true what you say, I'm a dreamer, sometimes hopless romantic ;) I can feel at home at my dreams, and I do always write them out of me as soon as I wake up... :) good to see you again, I'm in the bus right now, I shall review you in a bit when I'm home... Thanks so much.

[Calissa Knox]

No, thank you, Elisa! I really enjoyed reading this poem. :) It's very cool that you write down your dreams. I do that sometimes, too. It's very peaceful. Have a great journey home! :)

I'm home :) finished my day, happy you do that too... I have so many dreams, and they are really vivid, and connecting sometimes... it is peaceful indeed....

[Calissa Knox]

That's wonderful. :) I hope your trip was great. :)

Thanks dear, oh the trip was chaotic lol... too many people in the bus, I had no seat... lol, so couldn't review standing.... but I'm fine, home and happy :D great to talk to you always.

[Calissa Knox]

I'm sorry you had a chaotic trip, and that your bus ride was so uncomfortable. :( Glad you're doing better now, and that you're home, safe, and happy. :)

When I'm in the writers and musicians world, all is happy! :) thank you for your sweet words... the driver couldn't drive either lol haha... :))

[Calissa Knox]

Haha, that's awful! At least he didn't crash! :)

Haha, yeah.... have pain in my shoulder of this man, holding that rope above..... ;) lol

[Calissa Knox]

Haha, he must be a very bad driver!

Haha! yes well said, I should write soon a new poem.... :) (maybe with some humor in it ;) ).

[Calissa Knox]

Yes, that would be wonderful! Haha, I'm excited to read it. :)

I will send it to you first in private when it's finished lol.... :) (I hear instantly some funny piano notes with it already) haha...

[Calissa Knox]

Alright, haha, sounds like it's going to be very funny!

Your dreams are beautiful. Such a sacred feel this one has. I like how you repeated that you were having a dream and then changed it some at the end. Love it. Truly.

Thank you so much dear friend.... you always truly feel my writings.

[Michael G. Smith]

Love the light feel of this and how easy it flows. I thought to myself how I wish my night dreams were more like this.

Thank you mister Smith, I wish for you they will be!

[Michael G. Smith]

The music really adds another dimension to this. The first time I read it on my phablet. I like to listen to Native American Flute music when I lay my head down. I wrote a poem to one of the songs call The Spirit in the Flute would be grateful if you read it.

[Jack...]

Seafoam castles sit amongst the liquid flowing beams
as I find that I am lost, somewhere inside my dreams

Elisa, you have captured the aura of the dream, the fantasy of sleep and the kaliediscope of colors vibrantly streaming with your poem. You have created a softness with your words and a grand adventure tucked neatly within. Very beautifully written.

I'm so grateful to you Jack, thank you sir... I'm pleased you liked this surreal dream... you have just a way with words dear friend, thank you...

[ritchie carter]

this is quite a nice sweet piece of writting its makes a refreshing change to some of the stuff ive been reading and it sort of says to me look at the good things rather than the bad if that makes sence so thanks for this

That makes perfect sense sweet friend, I've read much of you already, you're good, in all you do! and I will come back for your art... thanks a lot, greetings from the Netherlands.

I like how the dream is being brought by a peaceful state of mind. All is calm and good with the world, the perfect conditions for a launch toward dreamland, this new world of yours. Cotton visions as a soothing sight, yet one we know cannot sustain the weight of the unavoidable waking up… I like the repetitions of “I had a dream”, sounds like a distant echo of the conscious mind, trying to protect you of the shock that it will be to leave this word… Are we refusing the dreamland as being real? Where does our mind travel when we sleep? I would argue that this place is just as real… Even better, since everything there is created by us, doesn’t that make us God?

Heard a violin, a Cello
And some piano notes
I touched the sky
And kissed the ground

Love this stanza… And it pushes my point further. By touching the sky, you are the one creating the piano notes… the clouds are your keys.

The ending is brutal and honest. “My pillow”. Indeed, when we’re pulled away from that place, it is always abrupt, violent almost… At least you weren’t dreaming about a river… to wake up in a pool of your own drool !!! ;)

But there is hope, there’s always tomorrow night… to get back inside that world.

A great read, thanks for sharing !

Ah what a great review, I find that this is recognizable for you ... to everything you say here. And I agree ... you have looked deeper into details that I greatly appreciate. You end made ​​me laugh hard ... a touch of humor JP through the clouds ... Thank you dear friend.

- Elisa

P.s. I meant, JP's humor... lol... two clouds did move, and I did fall on my mouth .... haha

[jacob erin-cilberto]

should be "lying on my back"

but wow, i related to this...i have some pretty real dreams...the other night one about my second ex...and i was talking to her about why i could not ever get back with her because of how she left me the first time..and how i was involved now and very much in love...and she was trying to understand and then i woke up ...and i felt so damn guilty like i had cheated on my my girlfriend...

sometimes i wonder if the dreams take us where we want to go and can't...or take us where they want to take us because we don't want to got there in real life.

jacob

Thank you jacob, for helping me out once again with the grammar. I appreciate that. Yes, dreams have no rules... they are a movie of our unconcious. And it is interesting, I write down every dream I ever had so clearly, I analyze them, and work them out. :) thank you for your beautiful review. Eli

[SHEEMA HUQ]

written like a true expert poet
brilliant to read
thank you
xx

Aw, thank you dear Sheema, xx

[SHEEMA HUQ]

oh, it's my pleasure, this is a really great poem

[h d e rushin]

I love the soft movement here dear EL. Danced, sung, faced, dreamd, heard,
touched, kissed, walked, smiled then smelled. So interesting this final
action of individual significance and justification. Written meristically as one
can visualize the modification in number or in geometrical relation of one
body parts...Your so good at this style.

We stand in witness here of some of the finest women poets every known.
Thanks for sharing....dana

Thank you ever so kindly dear dana, I'm feeling honored to have your opinion by, more kindly then I deserve! :-) love to you
