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

dreams are so powerful and can take over if they recur. I'm sure that you will find what you are looking for. This was a terrific poem full of longing, hope and love

Bittersweet journey from day to 'night'. Are there clues in your poetry to help you figure out who this dreamboat might be....read between the lines. ;-)

Lovely, as always Carolann, your poetry always hits the mark.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thanks Frieda. Nah no clues lol or maybe I really don't want to know after all dreams are a lot more fun than reality. :)

[Frieda P]

So true, I guess that's why we're poets, we get to blend them together. My pleasure, and erhum ;-)

I love this poetic exploration of an age old muse. Well penned dear.
May I offer an observation?
When we allow our dream to affect our waking thoughts and action then the line is blurred. This can be for the good or it can be a road block. I think when you feel love and acceptance your heart chould carry that into the day and you should live it and share it until your reality becomes the dream. That way you always get to live it.
Be well my friend. A lovely write.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you so much David and yes I agree with what you say, the poem was really inspired by a reoccurring dream I've had about a man but I don't know who he is lol I'm glad you enjoyed.

Very beautiful in a sad kind of way, but let me say, dreams can come true if you believe in them. Cast your fear and let the light appear and love will be waiting somewhere in the golden sheen, still to feel like a dream, but very, very real.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you Jack, we can always have our dreams. :)
