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 -~- 2-21-19 Anyone Game?

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
