IN DREAMS

 

 

 

 

IN DREAMS

 

 

In dreams I walk hand in hand with my love

In rose hewn pathways ‘neath bowers of doves

I know what I dream for….. you also feel

In dreams I know for certain you’re real  

 

I see our love’s dream reflected in lotus filled ponds

Daisy rings plucked by your hand form our strong bonds

Promises made in precious moments do come true

Under sparkling pristine stars of bright blue 

 

I feel like a princess in her golden coach

Your knightly manner is beyond reproach

As the clock strikes midnight we’re free to pretend

With fairy tales and make believe we transcend 

 

Our nightly trysts gather moments divine

Leaving all the qualms of daylight behind

Its only in dreams that I dread the new morn

with the coming of dawn you will be gone

Beautiful ! This poem would put anyone in a beatific mood. Good writing. Tony PS: I never had dreams like that. But now you have inspired me, I will look forward to dreams with hopes they will be like that.

Helena, this is surely a dreamy state of expression you have written and very well done, although I am a believer in, whatever we may dream can also come to true light.

"Our nightly trysts gather moments divine
Leaving all the qualms of daylight behind'

I really liked those lines (and all the rest of your poem, too). Who would want to wake from such a great dream?! Lovely take on the phrase, Helena. :-) Sharon

Helena, your dreamy write is so perfect for this challenge. I happen to know that only in dreams do visions like this exist. It's not a place in time or on earth...it's a perfect place in dreams where we can go only in dreams. A place where all our longing wishes do come true and we are happy until we do awake. If only for a little while...let me be happy in my dreams. The way you used the phrase is remarkabley well blended into your write. Thank you so much for keeping the dream alive Helena...and for joining in the contest.
love...Liz
