In dreams

Dreaming of her

 

In dreams

 

On misty banks of weathered shoreline,

deplete by oceans endless play

With scattered seas of ageless voyage,

lone sunsets formed on borrowed bay

 

Horizons beckon with a daydream,

in distant lines of forward flow

On breezes captured always welcome,

as if some one I once did know

 

A jetty sits in foam laced waters,

lapping cold against its skin

Of the sights it surely witnessed

and moon beam patterns once again

 

This solitude of thoughts provoking,

a heartbeat dances on a wave

For memories we’ve long forgotten

or the ones our heart has saved

 

As here I sit in meditation,

abreast of nature’s melody

To find a whispered love awakens,

my woman of this dark night sea

 

This night and every there before me,

bring a touch of love so kind

Beyond the washing waves so splendor,

for but a voice to call her mine

 

So now I face this grand conclusion,

what’s meant to be is all I ask

For on the sun’s due east arrival,  

I stand ready for the task

 

To send my love, to her unending,

far beyond this shining sea

And pray to find her pure acceptance

in dreams that she shall wait for me

Gorgeous ocean/shore imagery in this, Jack. The waves take the reader to the place of your dream, where their love awaits... Very nice!

[Jack...]

And no giraffes in sight... :) Thanks so much Rita.

[Rita L. Sev]

:) Ha! I don't think giraffe's and oceans mix...

[Rita L. Sev]

giraffes - dang, it's early if I'm making spelling errors!

[Jack...]

I know, the salt air gives them a sore throat. Ouch!

[Emerald Seas]

A sweet melody of thoughts, Jack. It read like a lullaby, sending your readers into their own budding dream lands where magic awaits to fulfill their hearts' desires. If we could program our dreams, or direct them, would we want to awaken from such a state? Thoughtful questions. I know what my answer would be...

[Jack...]

And I know what my answer would be as well, the big question, if it is to last forever, what would be the best dream? Thanks so much Sera. It is truly so nice to see you back. I wish you'd write a little bit, I am missing your poems.

[Emerald Seas]

Oh sorry - sigh... the ink well is so very dry these days. I don't know what will pull me out of this writing funk. My muse has so long left that .... well, I have no answer. I don't want to write negatively, i don't want to continue down an old vein, and I really have no screaming need to grab the pen and bleed anything else. so... When life calms down and inspiration strikes I suppose I will write. :)

[Jack...]

Please know that I will be patiently waiting. Sometimes it does feel like there is not another word I can write, but I look around me and always seem to find something that inspires me, like you my friend, you inspire me with your kind comments and your friendship. I know you have something beautiful inside waiting to get out and I will wait with it.

Another beautiful poem, Jack. I love the emotions you put into this that blend together so well. The aching for the one you love and the anticipation for sleep so you can find her in your dreams once again. Wonderful poem! :)

[Jack...]

You know my friend, I can always count on you to brighten my day. Thank you so much.

[poetry-kiddo alienbaba]

[Jack...]

Thank you so much my friend.

[poetry-kiddo alienbaba]

"As here I sit in meditation,

abreast of nature’s melody

To find a whispered love awakens,

my woman of this dark night sea



This night and every there before me,"
I felt the sadness in your dreams and the honesty in your heartfelt prayers that you send her across the ocean and the aching waves...
Your words flow with love and her love to you is the ultimate dream come true...

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Sami. You have that exactly right. I always appreciate your kind and relevant words.

[Sami Khalil]

My pleasure...Good to know...:)
