Lost In Dreams of Thee

Awarded FIRST PLACE  in contest sponsored by:  Brian Strand of England
____________________________________________________________

‘Tis hell,  this place 
Me doth dwell 
Lost in dreams of thee
Drifting 'ore a unquenched wave
Across a never ending sea
From whence that shore
That once appeared before me
So demure
Fie, ’twas but a dream, a dream
A dream, and nothing more

Is this Romeo's dying speech over the (merely sleeping) body of Juliet? Very dramatic and artistic stuff, Lainie. Love, daver

Excellent and beautifully painted words on Shakespearian style. the Poem is quite moving also. Great job done. I have placed a new Poem on the ongoing mass revolution in India with the link of VIDEO clip I AM TIME which can be seen on my face book page link. I hope you would like it. Love and best wishes...Ravindra

I wish I had that wave here - roasting in this place but we dream of rain and cooler weather. Loved your verse and the thought that goes with it.

It is so hot here in Ohio the last few days and they say stay in if you can. Well I can and so I thought this would be a wonderful day to thank everyone for their kind comments on my poetry. So I say thank you to you for the kind words and for sharing your amazing poetry with us Lainie. Love, Carol
