I Fell in Love with a Dream

Here is a link to my you tube channel where I read my poetry from my recent book, Seedy Town Blues Collected Poems, available on Amazon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjeCroHYQxU

I fell in love with a dream,
and then I woke up.
It felt like a gut punch.
I wanted so badly for
the dream to be real,
but it wasn't.

The antonym for
dream is
reality.
And the reality
was
that she could
never love me
like I loved her.

A very poignant write from your poetic pen, Thomas. Reality and dreams differ greatly and what we wish for that we experienced in dreams, rarely becomes reality. Thought provoking write, Thomas. Thank you for sharing. I have had to create a new account because I had an update on my computer which resulted in all of my passwords being deleted among other things. I was unsuccessful changing my password and gave up after 38 attempts! Today I had to create a new account and email address, but I'm still me...

i fell in love with a dream finely expressed
it makes me recall the times i sleep hungry
he i would be prompted to eat in my dream
but sadly before i take a bite i woke up almost disappointed

I have been suffering from Herpes for the past 1 years and 8 months, and ever since then I have been taking series of treatment but there was no improvement until I came across testimonies of Dr. Silver on how he has been curing different people from different diseases all over the world, then I contacted him as well. After our conversation he sent me the medicine which I took according to his instructions. When I was done taking the herbal medicine I went for a medical checkup and to my greatest surprise I was cured from Herpes. My heart is so filled with joy. If you are suffering from Herpes or any other disease you can contact Dr. Silver today on this Email address: [email protected] or Whatsapp [phone]
