Morpheous in the Undergrowth

Just a dream

I know it's just ahead
said the buzzing inside my head

The place she would be
that spot where she would wait for me

I could almost see it
smell the fragrance of scented flowers
I had waited for so many hours

Blue skies, white fluffy clouds
fresh cut grass
dragonflies and buttercups

Is that her voice
a melody so sweet and tender
a dream of warm kisses

It's just ahead
all I need to do is rise up
get out of bed

Can you hear gentle waters fall?
over rocks
cascading drops

My hearts beat


Stops

She was always just out of reach

I read this before and thought I had wrote a review, but this must have been one of the writings I read during my hiatus (Yes, I still read...even when I'm not supposed to be here). Love the title. It just screams illusion--one that you hope for with such tenacity that you convince yourself she is just ahead. It hurts the heart to learn of such lost hope, but you've written it with such beauty.

[Poe Redd]

Wow. Don't you just love dreams? Such wonderfull ideas you never would have thought up otherwise, and then you can turn them into something beautifull, for all of us to experience, like you did!

This is sad but easy to emotionally connect to and it is very good.

[Chelsea]

This was a great poem! You really told a story within the lines. I could just see this person reaching for her but never being able to.
Kind of a nightmare in my books.
Beautiful imagery, love this one! Adding to my favourites!

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Such a beautiful dream with wonderful breath taking imagery! So sad at the end where your almost to her but yet out of reach!

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

Well expressed are your feelings. Tender and a bit yearning.
Dreams are wonderful (most of the time).. they carry us to places
we can only dream of so to say..The setting is well described , beautiful...
So sad when something or someone is just out of reach..
You emphasied "Stops".. could almost feel it .. beautiful dreamy poem.
