Dream

Dream
By: Adam M. Snow

 

I dream of her, and then I sever;

I dream of her now and forever.

Wrung ye not of dreams be seen,

Joyous past of hope between.

 

Misery held but a fiend, but a fiend;

Vision of her but a dream, but a dream.

But do I see her now or never;

Dream of her now and forever.

 

Dark despair around benights me;

Dreams of her, bestowed upon me.

Ne'er the day nor twilight fall;

One poise adjourned for all-

A dream to come tomorrow's pass,

Each heavier than the last.

 

I dream of her, and then I sever;

I dream of her now and forever.

Wrung ye not of dreams be seen,

Joyous past of hope between.

 

Alas! Misery held but a fiend, but a fiend;

Vision of her but a dream, but a dream.

Arose ye not a dream to wander,

A vision of her going yonder.

 

Dark despair around benights me;

Dreams of her, bestowed upon me.

Ev'ry dream it be of her;

Dream of her now and forever.

 

Author's Note

I was inspired by the poem 'Ae Fond Kiss by Roberts Burns' to write this.

Very nice inspiration, Robert Burns is really well. As is your poem here, i really liked this and its flow... i tend to agree with Misty Blue Eyes, at least the instrumental part of my song seems to be nice notes to the words here haha. Nice flow n write, i love the words.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

The clarity and clear applause to the writers of ole, is clear and perfect, well done, great read.

[Poetic Beauty]

I have had those haunting dreams of that person who lights up our world but they are no longer part of our life for one reason or another. This has an old world feel to it and you have composed this piece well. it is articulate and beautiful.

A very nice poem. I wonder has our dreamer lost his love. Tis truly sad.

[Inyourshadow]

A true love poem denoting the struggle to end the feelings and walk away yet holding on tight to the past dreaming one day all will once again be well. I love the form and flow of the poem as it gives it such strength and emotion. Keep em' coming
