Dreams of the Death of Love


DREAMS OF THE DEATH OF LOVE

When a dream meets reality does love die?
When I dream of your caress I fly
 Through the night so far above,
Pleasures undreamed of     
Found in your
Love.
Nevermore
To kiss my sweet dove,
Gone the Laughter I belove.
Cold earth blankets your silent goodbye.
	When a dream meets reality does love die?	

Written 17/02/15
For Andrea Dietrich’s contest “An invented form”
Name for This form “hourglass”

Thank you Richard for stopping in and I appreciate your comment. However to look at a dream meeting reality from another aspect what would one experiance if the dream were a nightmare? Love Shane

Sorry my reply to Eileen has ended up here. I do not know how this happens,

Shane Cooper

My enchantress I thank the for thy praise. I so wanted to use the word LOVE but I think it is not a good choose for rhyme. As to my support, your poetry is sublime as is the woman who writes it. Never forget you are the passion of the soup family. Love Shane xxx

Shane mine took about 3 hours to write over 2 days - a tricky form. All okish thanks for asking:-) hugs Jan

I thank you my dear friend, the first half was easy, the second took about three hours. Love was what i had to have as the central word but it does not have a lot of words that rhyme with it. Strange that, as it is such a used word. It makes me really proud that you think it is good as I value your opinion so much. how is everyone? And how are you? love Shane xxx

Shane...this is tender, sweet, beautiful...Why? Because the central word is LOVE! I loved this! :) The title is beautiful as well. Thanks for your support of late. It means a great deal to me. Hugs

Awesome, you did so well with this, all the rhymes and syllable counts, great challenge that you have met! Write on sweetie

Thanks Casarah I lost my way a bit with it but I think in the end it did not turn out to bad. No where near as good as Ninja Naj's effort that was truely Awsome! her poem just flowed perfectly. Or Andrea's original. I wanted to use LOVE as the centre but it was difficult to rhyme with it I think I made it hard for myself. Thanks again for your kind words, Love Shane xxx

thank you my dear friend, but i fear my heart is broken beyond repair and the choices i make are all all flawed because of that. the magic has run dry. And love has abandned ship with the captain. love Shane.xxx
