Constance La France Poet Verse

Dreams Slip Away

My dreams come floating and drifting in a mist,
and all reality crumbles and thoughts pirouette;
I plunge, tumbling, falling, and spinning out of control,
          into the surreal realm of dreams . . . 
where visions collide and crash together quietly,
and memories are tangled until they slip away;
     lost and vanished as I struggle to remember . . .

Aditi Mishra August 2, 2020 at 12:17 AM My experience with dreams is so similar to yours Constance. I've often wanted to resume my dreams after I wake up but that never happens.

Carolyn Devonshire July 29, 2020 at 2:26 PM I love the thought of you pirouetting into the realm of dreams, Constance. And you describe it so well that the reader feels like they've seen it in person. Just don't let the good memories "slip away." Best wishes in Brian's contest. Hugs, Carolyn Constance La France July 30, 2020 at 1:57 PM Carolyn, thanks for visiting my poem, I like your comment. You mean you do not dance in your dreams. I find it odd how the good and the bad mingle in a dream and you are left trying to untangle them _Constance

Darlene De Beaulieu July 29, 2020 at 11:26 AM Hello Constance La France, so nice to meet you. I have dreams I remember my dreams. Some repeat. Then I wonder what des it mean? Enjoy your day my friend. Darlene De Beaulieu July 30, 2020 at 3:23 PM Hello Constance La France, i am still wondering what some of my dreams mean. Some are repeated dreams. Enjoy your evening my friend. Constance La France July 30, 2020 at 1:59 PM Hi Darlene, thanks for the comment on my poem. I do the same and try to figure out what it all means but never can even with a dream dictionary I am left wondering _Constance
