Allusive illusion

Dream lover …...

Allusive illusion

Checked my dream catcher today

And found it empty once again

And the reverie of love’s possibility

Had not been caught up in its mesh

Although grateful nightmare visions

Have been sieved out of my mind

It would have been nice to discover

Amour prospects lay within its net

Sweet imagines have been allusive

And just illusions it would appear

But I maintain an optimistic outlook

Those expectations will be revealed

Perhaps unconscious psyche filters

Have been positioned far too high

Though seeking a beloved partner

Is a charge not impossible to wish

So resetting this spider web charm

I lay me once more down to sleep

In expectation that in the morning

I discover you hiding in my dreams

Discover you hiding in my dream...ooh.. Phill such a sweet poem... and wishful thinking...sweet and adorable... :)
I do wish and pray you find her next to you not only in dreams... :)
Everyone deserve to find that love...that kind which makes our toes and lips curl into smiles...

Thank you kindly - I'm looking for the daughter of Nedar, who is a member of Theseus court! Or perhaps; that is someone else's (Mid-summer nights) dream... :-)

Mmm love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind.... ;) .. and may the universe bring Helena who is made just for you...

Expectation kills at times but it also brings us hope. To find "the one" is a wish many of us have. we wake up to reality in search for the one we met in our dreams. Even if we don't find them we still hold onto that thread of hope.

I love this poem Phill.

Optimism is the key - for dreams are the mystic fuel of our inspirations - :-)

"So resetting this spider web charm

This is so wonderfully true! I can relate to the emotion behind this poem. I love the desire to have some tangible feeling of love and the reliance of a dream catcher to fulfill the longing.

Pondering, the possibilities of love and affection from a dream catcher. But, also finding out. Your wicked nightmares have gone. Loved it! Giving hope, peace and happiness. Bits at a time. So you're not overwhelmed.

Had a few days like that > No dreams to dream - no flashes of inspiration

I am living in a flurry of action > do this that and lots more > before I have started on the first
