In whispered worlds of chance

First poem of 2019 in the Wonderland collection...

Do dreams die or merely sleep

in whispered worlds of chance?

And will I find the Wonderland

I saw in your first, sweet glance?

 

Is the world of substance all

one can ever hope to hold?

Are there not deeper worlds

with numberless gifts untold?

 

I feel you so much closer now

as fleeting glimpses wink and sigh.

And I reach for you in my dreams;

the touch of your soft skin’s lullaby.

 

I will search a thousand skies

in endless sunsets’ scarlet bliss.

Until I find your dreamish life

and am awakened by your kiss.

Very beautiful and insightful! I really love the thought of dreaming of such things...knowing this will be in a collection called "Wonderland" makes it even better. I really enjoyed the imagery and hidden thoughts which were spoken here. "I reach for you in my dreams...", that would have to be my favorite line. Quite lovely, yet delicate to the audience. Happy New Year and can't wait for more!

Ah, thank you so much dear poet! So glad to have you by... especially here at the New Year. Wishing you the best! :)

“The touch of your soft skin’s lullaby”. One of the most romantic sighs I have ever read... poetry as fragile as an eggshell is a nest of provocative chicks. Truly, Pat
