Valley of Dreams

I walk down the valley

Set deep within my dreams

The lush green fields

The dancing daffodils

I gaze up at the azure sky

Serene in its embrace

When I see you

My angel from that sky

I move closer to you

Enveloped in your warmth

And I hold out my hand

Just to touch you

A fire inside me burns

A longing just to hold you

And drift away

One with the clouds

I remember the days

When you were mine

That warm embrace

And the gentle touch

I gaze in your eyes now

And tears, they flow

I hold your hands

And ask you why

“Why did you leave me?

In this world alone

To the Lord you went

Your warmth I need”

“Hold me close

In your loving memories

Love me forever and

I will live in you”

You say these words

And smile at me

I embrace you tight

To never let you go

I watch alone in reverie

As you fade away

Till I meet you again

In my valley of dreams.

Author's Note

This is my first attempt at a love related poem and frankly I'm really doubtful about how it's turned out, so tell me what you think!

if id known this was going to be love related before i read it, it turned out exactly as i wouldve expected from you. not straight lovey dovey, it has a sadness of lost love. beautifully penned. absolutely beautiful

A beautiful and hopeful poem of love. Dreams and love do walk hand in hand. I like the description of desire and dreams. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

Sid, NO! This is sad, I thought it was going to be lovey dovey and then BAM sadness. I'll forgive it for its sadness because it is absolutely beautiful!
“Hold me close
In your loving memories
Love me forever and
I will live in you”
Love those lines the most. Wonderful work as always...but I have come to expect that of you

:D You should be more self-confident. I don't think I've read a single thing from you that I didn't like in some way. Muffins. (It's random word hour :D)

[Sid]

Just my first time writing a love related poem, so wasn't sure but I'll take your word for it so thanks again Becca. Dark Chocolate (lets make it random "words" hour :D)

[Tex]

well I am a Sid fan so you have to remember that when I review your work :)

I just loved this. The longing for a love lost to another world was well put across. The last stanza was very strong. and this...

I remember the days
When you were mine
That warm embrace
And the gentle touch
I gaze in your eyes now
And tears, they flow
I hold your hands
And ask you why

great stuff.

A solid write... Nice work.

[Sid]

Thank you Nicholas I wasn't sure about this but your words give me confidence...Thanks again!!
