Anyone Game

Like a gentle summer breeze 
 She blows into my dreams
 Always leaving me a clue
 Before she disappears from view

 Each night she arrives on moonbeams
 To whisper to me in dreams
 She is perfection to the eye
 And the beauty of my lullaby

 Yet she guards her heart with a flaming sword
 And no one gets in without the password
 And as the sequence of the dreams ensue
 We no longer find love to be taboo

 Code names of affection she gives to me
 Taking the risk to set her heart free
 But trouble comes when doubts arise
 And I hear her haunting cries

 In my dreams she will reside
 For she's got a ticket to ride
 To a destination within my heart
 And she will speak out with words of love
                           -~-

Oh I was expecting a rhyme at the very end! Well, never mind, this was a great write using so many of the game words, joseph. One of the few contests I am excited to try soon! Great job you did with it.

The first 2 lines don't rhyme, so I guess it kinda fits together that way..Thank you Brandy..

It is wonderful that the last thought doesn't rhyme!! :) Makes the poem even more amazing. As it ties all the thoughts together in such a beautiful way. ~ Brandy
