Suzanne Delaney Poet Verse

Doorway To Dreams

Doorway to dreams that decorate slumber,
Is entered by minds letting go.
Drifting through spaces and mythical places
Flirting with fear and incredible chases,
Down long empty hallways and up endless staircases
In search of the answers we know

Then flowers of fantasy brilliant and fair
Blow all their rare petals to dismal fields bare

Pull back from the snake whose bite isn't real
Watch for the enemy close at your heel
All is in blackness nothing to feel
Float upwards and upwards beyond, danger's way
Plunge suddenly, swiftly to cold light of Day

A 7 and a fave...and I hope this is in the doors contest because it deserves top shelf placement :) Suzanne Delaney April 4, 2017 at 1:39 PM Hi Laura: When I saw the contest there was one slot left so I posted my poem on my poems bUT just as I went to enter it the contest disappeared. Your seven makes up for it. Many thanks and hugs, SuZ

Eileen Manassian April 2, 2017 at 4:31 AM Wow! Incredible poem, Suz. You really enjoyed playing with words on this one...and in turn...enjoyed the read! :) Good luck on the contest, dear.

I missed the competition by a hair but that happens sometimes, especially with such a good topic. LOL Hugs, SuZ

Paul Callus April 1, 2017 at 3:37 PM Opening the door to dreams affords us the luxury of unrestrained experiences as we travel through time...and you describe this with lovely poetic ability, Suzanne. Unfortunately the best dreams are often aborted at the most interesting part, especially when morning calls!! Full marks to you:) Warm regards // paul Suzanne Delaney April 4, 2017 at 1:49 PM Sometimes I dream but can't remember them but last night had a funny one. My husband had drapes made for the living room that were prints of music notes. I have started piano practice again and we have a piano tuner and a blinds consulting person coming on the same day. Perhaps that explains the silly dream. LOL
