JUST DREAMS

                                        JUST DREAMS

Once we talked of dreams

And we shared them.

I still remember how it felt 

To lie in your arms

Even if we never did

And then we did.

I can't recall now

Which felt better.

You told me once

I taught you how to love

Then you quickly said,

" I can't love and I don't 

Need to explain it"

We are caught in this web

Wondering who is the hunter 

And who is the prey.

How does one with a heart

Love one who has none?

I never asked for the real,

Content with the alter universe

We have shared for so many years

Better than the real....

Sometimes worse than Hell itself.

Do your feet touch the ground in your dreams?

Everything has a shelf life.

I think I have reached mine

This is incredible! I connected so well with this! It's beautiful, but those last few lines.
"Do your feet touch the ground in your dreams?
Everything has a shelf life.
I think i have reached mine."
That is just incredible... It's so eloquent, and beautiful. It just says everything... It's the perfect ending. Please never stop writing. You have so so much talent to be able to write a piece as good as this!

I am really smiling..I thank you for the kind words..I always thought I needed my muse to write and survive but I have come to realize it's people like yourself that connect and give me the inspiration I need to continue. Thank you from my heart :)

"Do your feet touch the ground in your dreams?"

That right there was great. Powerful, evocative. I redraw my statement on the last poem, this is now my favorite one of yours. lol From the very first stanza on: "Once we talked of dreams / And we shared them." I've felt this many times. I think you may be right, about kindred literary spirits, because this spoke to me. Thank you for sharing this. Honestly. Please don't ever stop writing ^^

O.K. so so far today ..you have made me smile, laugh, think and read...For all this and your heartfelt comments I am deeply in your debt. This was written awhile ago during one of those "moods" (that I frequent many times unfortunately) shooting straight from the heart.

[MachinaWriter]

I those "moods" a lot, too, unfortunately. A lot of my poems on here were written during those moments. Reading this, I think you may enjoy a poem of mine called The Drive, about a very hard time in my life that wasn't very long ago.

[MachinaWriter]

And btw, you've done that for me, as well. I've smiled, thought, laughed, and have fallen silent many times reading your things. Thank you for that.

Going there now :) I know I sound manic at times but I'm so not..Just pour my heart out like laundry on a line

[MachinaWriter]

Ha, you and me both. I believe in radical honesty, and it often sounds manic lol And I like that. Like laundry on a line.

Safe to say ..You Made my Day..

[MachinaWriter]

And with those words..I'll be okay. No need to cry, no need to pray. I've found a shelter, I've found my bay. A harbor of sheltered docks. A place to find a peace, between the words and the clocks. A place to be released, from the burden of these rocks. So with a review, I say to you, you're words have set me free....

How can you review,truth,written,felt,compact,reduced to flavor ,a poke in the mouth,fat the lip of reality.

[Southern Cross]

The lip of reality seems cold because it never has the warm cover of illusion

Our dreams mean so much to us don't they. They lead us down a road full of twists and turns. We open our heart and mind in our dreams and so many times our ruined. People like us never ask for more than what someone can give but we still end up being hurt when all we do is give.

A dreamy poem caught in a web of emotions and nostalgia...
Well penned dear poet.

[Southern Cross]

Again, thank you

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome.

I let go .. and said so long .. I need so much more .. and he needed nothing at all ..
We wrap our hearts round hopes and maybes .. but One alone can't make anything happen .. .. It was good, and the stuff dreams are made of .. but wasn't real .. Dreams never last, they fade .. . and we are left with broken memories ..

Hold close the best parts .. Take care ..

Good One ! .. Jazz

[Southern Cross]

[J. J. Nightingale]
