In whispered worlds of chance

First poem of 2019 in the Wonderland collection...

Do dreams die or merely sleep

in whispered worlds of chance?

And will I find the Wonderland

I saw in your first, sweet glance?

 

Is the world of substance all

one can ever hope to hold?

Are there not deeper worlds

with numberless gifts untold?

 

I feel you so much closer now

as fleeting glimpses wink and sigh.

And I reach for you in my dreams;

the touch of your soft skin’s lullaby.

 

I will search a thousand skies

in endless sunsets’ scarlet bliss.

Until I find your dreamish life

and am awakened by your kiss.

First poem of 2019 in the Wonderland collection...

Reviews

[I Am Svetlana]

Very beautiful and insightful! I really love the thought of dreaming of such things...knowing this will be in a collection called "Wonderland" makes it even better. I really enjoyed the imagery and hidden thoughts which were spoken here. "I reach for you in my dreams...", that would have to be my favorite line. Quite lovely, yet delicate to the audience. Happy New Year and can't wait for more!

[An owl on the moon]

Ah, thank you so much dear poet! So glad to have you by... especially here at the New Year. Wishing you the best! :)

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

Transparent through the looking glass ...the truths they lie and wait...in searching distant wonderlands are yearning to be found....just take a look around....you’ll c what has been found🌹🌹

Sorry I haven't seen you in my newsfeed -- being old & forgetful, I lost track of your writing! I'm happy to stumble on you again! Your writing is whimsical yet straightforward, a perfect combination for my feeble reading consciousness. I love how the theme of "Wonderland" can actually be FELT in these two poems I've just read of yours . . . rather than being a figment of the writer's imagination! *wink! wink!* Now I've got you in my reading library rotation, so I can keep up with some of your stuff (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[An owl on the moon]

Ah, Margie, so thankful you stumbled upon my rabbit hole writings! Always glad to have you by. You are a wonderful encouragement to all of us here! :)

I love the name of the collection...masterful and steeped in romance and longing, this one rhymes in all the right places and makes me want to watch when that first kiss happens. Stunning!!!

[An owl on the moon]

Ah, my friend, it's always a joy when you come by! Thank you for your encouragement always. :)

love is wondrous if we let it be, flow easily, smoothly as it must be, love is eternal if we could hold that overwhelmed moment when we fall and feel love, genuine, real and true in that first glance, You my friend know Love, write and express it genuinely in Your very own special style, Thank You*

[An owl on the moon]

It is so wondrous to have you by, dear Light. Yes, there is something so transforming about love. Wanting it to always fill your skies.

[lightsong]

my pleasure dear Friend, to travel through Your own Wonderlands.

This is it I'm afraid, we have one very fleeting life and one go to make the best fist possible of our time here.
Your words and rhyme flow effortlessly. This poem is made to look simple by a man who has mastered his craft :)

nice ... soft and romantic read Owly .. sometimes the "dreamish" world is more preferable for me and I do sometimes go back in it and delay awakening ... i especially like how you blended both worlds all wrapped up in the same thing ... ones love ... your words in rhyme and rhythm lift me up this morning sir!
