Dreams

I have lived a thousand dreams

each time we speak

and like the sun

begin to rise,

full of glorious possibilities

and for that brief moment,

I am free again

I am alive.

and then, slowly

like a fading relic

bowing to the umbra

I find myself

standing here

alone.

against the painful consternation

that it was only a dream,

never meant to be...

Dreams or feelings we dreamed were real? Reality is fragile and we escape into the dreamlike imagined things that usually leave us wanting. An interesting work offering varied perspectives. I enjoyed it very much.

I can remember having one myself that was similar. I was woken by a car horn outside as we were cuddling and kissing. Incredible! That's the way it goes I guess.

"I write her a letter - just a few short lines
and suffer death a thousand times." (Black is the Colour - Irish Trad.)

Love is death - to not love is a fate worse than death. Hand in hand the two forever entwined.

thank you for your comments...makes sense.. to have love and lost is far better than to have never loved at all is my opinion...taking the bitter with the sweet, I guess.

Wishing you well.

sometimes in relationships, we come so close, so close...and then are left standing alone...perplexed as to what happened to that so real dream.

Beautiful write! Sometimes life is so free in our dreams and I know I find myself not wanting to wake up and get out of certain dreams. I enjoyed your words :)

Really lovely structure, reads like a dream in that is jumps and changes by is smooth. Really like the language used too - nice :)

Ah... Wistful write.
I must ask, if it was dreamed, it was meant to be, was it not? Even if only to teach us a truth, our trials, hopes and dreams are never wasted if we seek to place them in proper perspective. IMO...😀
After all, now we all share this lovely poem.

I wonder...

Could it also be a message?

Sometimes messages come to us in the night season... and at other times, in a dream, whether it's a day or night dream.

Thank you for your comments!

Could be. Possibilities abound. :)

-- this is a very haunting song, alisa... -- i read it aloud and your words echo like an epic... -- extremely skilfully written... and sensitive too... -- i know how cheated one feels when one wakes up to reality and realizes it's very different from a dream...

[Alisa Js]

Thank you, serah....

I know exactly what you mean! I will be by soon,
