Reality or Dream

Have my dreams become a reality 
is my reality just a dream 
I have the strangest feeling

that nothing's as it seems 

When I fall asleep 
you come alive to me 
You seem so very real 
but you are nothing but a dream 

Who are you my love 
my elusive fantasy 
Do you exist upon the world 
will you ever come to me 

Night upon night 
Dream upon dream 
We walk hand in hand 
through worlds of light unseen 

You come to me my darling 
and live your life with me 
But for us our true reality 
is somewhere in my dreams 

Will I ever wake up 
and find you next to me 
Will the dream 
I dream of you 
become my reality

Or will the rest of my days 
be as a dream within a dream 
Where reality's a fantasy 
and nothing's as it seems

awww i'm so very in love with contradictions and this just took me into an other reality, wonderful
let me just tell you something sis,
look for him,
in your dreams,
dream so very hard
and it will come real
to love him, to want him
to never let go
to find him finally
that is what you'll need

excuse me for the raw words, but that is what i felt. great write hun

There was a movie once with Demi Moore where she lived 2 lives one real the other a dream and she didn't know which was which. I like your line of a dream within a dream.

This was a beautiful poetic creation. A lot of people can relate to this I believe.

They always say there is someone out there for us so when we wait we can not help but dream of what they are like. A beautifully melancholy write.

I'm kind of experiencing this now.haha. You have captured my attention until the end of the poem. I think dreaming about your ideal person is just a way for the mind to cope with stress. It's a psychological aspect.

[Carolann Dowsett]

True, its nice though lol like living two different lives. :) Thanks Margarette.

A beautiful and hopeful poem. Some people leave glimpses of faces making us wish for more time and chance. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.
