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.

The best part about this piece is it's genuineness.

And this stanza:
"Can you hear gentle waters fall?
over rocks
cascading drops" - has a very deep meaning for me.

Well done, I really did enjoy!

[Poetic Beauty]

The last line is the real catcher in this poem. It is sad and the last line sums it up nicely.

She is never outta reach. You just need to remember, if you feel her in your heart, she is always right there beside you.

exquisite!!! heavenly! these distances sometimes seem so close and yet so far.the distance that remains between a dream and a dream coming true...

very amazing! i love it

[Undying Glory]

such powerful and vivid work in this elegant write, wonderful! sometimes are dreams can be so beautiful! and the ending was good, because you've captured the bitter irony of dreams; that they always stop just when we're about to make it. i guess this also reflects the misery of those who feel that they're just not good enough for their loved ones. awesome!
