I Dreamed a Dream of You

Yesterday I dreamed a dream, that had no end. You in your white gown, and long, black hair flowing. You were calling my name. I heard you, but I couldn't reach you! And when I say your soul was tainted. You went out in the night life. You dressed in your black, evening ball gown. You danced till the Red Sun came out, over the horizon. You smiled at me. A flame in my heart burned red hot! My knees and hands shook with nerves; Nerves of love and joy. I blew you a kiss, but you turned away! Oh, please don't turn away from me, for I would die, if it happened again! Your beautiful and golden heart showed me the truth. The truth that every gentleman wants to hear. I've seen you walk the streets, in the blue dawn of August. As I followed you, you stopped and looked at me. You smiled so beautifully, and my heart fluttered into oblivion! You walked with your friends and I went my way. I couldn't find a single trace of you that day. I cried out "Why did I leave her like this?!" I looked for you, all over the courtyards and town squares! Yet no sight of your beauty. ... No sight of your golden heart, that I hold so dear to mine. Where did you go? Why did you leave? Why did I leave... that is the question! I should have stayed by your side, till the ends of time. Yet I had left. Why...? One gloomy and parish midnight. I came along a road, and soon found myself in front of a wayward cafe. Smiling faces all around me. I spotted a beautiful face that outstood all the other faces around me. It was yours. Your face brought me to sanity and I went over too you! You spotted me and tried to run! I caught you in the dirty hallway and pulled you in. Our eyes met and I fell in love once again. Sanity re-entered my mind, body and soul. I kissed you and you kissed back. You held my hand, and we left the cafe and walked down the street. The street was gloomy, yet we together brightened the dark street. We went back to the lit up city streets, of the lands filled with smiling faces, and we fell in love and slept together. You lay there in my restless arms and I gave you a sweet kiss, upon your sweet and soft head. Your dark hair was sweet smelling and felt of silk. I closed my eyes and fell asleep with you, there in my arms and we dreamed together till the morning came and woke me up, and took you away from my weak and weary arms. I dreamed a dream of you.

This is beyond exceptional, moving it to my favorites. You had me from start to finish. At first I thought she was a lady of the evening. Many layers to this piece. Well done, you are a talented story teller.

Hello Christopher, a dream within a dream. very pretty and romantic. Somehow your words brought the dream to life. Mostly i love the feeling of falling in love all over again. I still remember and feel the moment we call love at first sight. One time I asked if anyone has ever dreamed within a dream... and here you are answering the question, with open passion... love the poem...Linda

Wow thank you very much Danesh for this wonderful comment and I totally agree with you! This was a true dream I had... I woke up and felt torn and saddened, and I kind of wished I never woke up! That is hard to hear, but yes it is true! I felt torn and I just wanted the dream to never end! When you dream of the one you love, you never want to see them go. I am glad you love the poem Danesh!! Thank you very much!!! :) and you're welcome
