I want to sleep, so I can dream.
Dreaming makes the pain go away,
weakens my prison walls,
so you can rescue me.
I feel your warm breath on my face,
your loving embrace...
Hand-in-hand we run through the lush,
exotic island.
Our laughter echoes among the trees
as we look towards the horizon and
see eternity...
Dawn beckons me.
I don’t want to wake.
I want to dance with you, forever
in my lucid dreams.
"What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a story, And the greatest good is little enough: for all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only dreams" Pedro Calderón de la Barca (1600-1681)...
But to fully wake up to a new dawn...Oh, the sheer beauty of it!
I wholeheartedly agree Po. Thank you for inspiring this poem with your beautiful poem, “Dying for Your Touch”... I love the way poetry keeps on giving!
Thanks so much for reading and your feedback Keith, Don & Tom. The words come to me elusive as butterflies in a field of dreams!
I love the feeling and atmosphere created here. Each line flows so nicely into the next.
Take this in the light-hearted way it is meant V. A couple of glasses of white - guaranteed zonk-out. Trouble is I can't dial up the dream I want. I'm sure whoever's in charge of dreams that night says he's been a nice boy today, we'll send him the dream fairies (in diaphanous gowns), if they think I've misbehaved? I won't tell you what they send......

written with passion. Loved every word.

If we must wake, let it be to another dream filled with poetry, art, music... Any one will do, preferably all three! Thanks for stopping by Do. ? I hope you have a dreamy day! ❤️
