Catcher of My Heart

My nights are long until you appear when I'm sleeping
You, the catcher I entrust with my heart for safekeeping
The handsome vision of the man I imagine in my poetry
On page after page I write of your love and a life with me
I feared never finding reality with you unless I dreamed
til your knock on my door made love as real as it seemed

Dearest Lin, I just loved how your poem beautifully captures the longing and anticipation of love. The imagery of entrusting your heart to a dream catcher is both tender and evocative. The poetic words convey a sense of hope and longing, culminating in the realization of love's reality. Lin, this is a heartfelt expression of romance and yearning. - Blessings, Daniel

Hi Daniel. I'm pleased that you liked this one. Sometimes it happens that love comes knocking when you aren't expecting it. Open the door or not... ? I don't ever want to live with 'what ifs.' Thank you ever so much for leaving your artful insight in such kind thoughts.

So dreams can come through after all Lin, another very imaginative poem, we can bring anything to life with our pen, or (as real as it seemed) creative writing, cheers David

hmmm... now there's an interesting thought, David. You're right in that it is my dream. LOL

But how would you know who to do away with? unless you kill em all, besides it’s your dream and you can do whatever you want:)

Yes, they can. I once had a dream... a fantasy actually. It came true and turned into a nightmare. Perhaps I should use my pen as a sword in some of my dreams and do away with the culprits, ;-) Thanks, David.
