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.

Dreams are the doorways to real life. This dream is interesting. Something so close and so far away. Amazing description and story in the poem. A interesting poem.

Beautiful images, and just love the ending! The heart is beating so wildly, sweetly, and then ......she is out of reach...Again! A nice poem of love dreamed for yet not received!

I hope you get poison ivy.. grassing in your dreams, geesh the nerve some fellahs.. Loved the imagery, and the very stark ending.. Hate when I wake up just before the good stuff happens in my dreams! Enjoyable read!

Well you know I'm loving the imagery here, and what a stark ending! There you go, filling us with this natural reverie, then...BAM!

How annoyingly true of so many relationships....Excellent write, Linear One!

Intriguing and memorizing...love dream pieces!
"Blue skies, white fluffy clouds
fresh cut grass
dragonflies and buttercups" sounds so lovely.

LOVE the pace to this one love! You convey really well the emotions of almost having what is wanted, but only to not have it :) Great poem xx
