I Dreamt It All

I know that I shall meet a pretty someone
	Somewhere in the shops across the mall;
	Those that I date now I do not love at all,
	The lips that I kiss now I do it all for fun;
	My life is driven by dreams and fate,
	My love life is without honesty or sate,
	But no part of you could understand me well
	Or know what I feel or know where I dwell.
	Nor guilt, nor situation oblige me to lie,
	Nor predicaments, bade me to sigh,
	A lonesome soul bereft of delight –
	I, who sleeps alone, by the night;
	I dreamt it all: the woman, the date, and the day,
	The months to come will demise my solitude away
	Because all that I dreamt is all that I sought,
	There shall be no more cries nor any ugly thought.

Choene, Another "7" and "FAV" from me for this sonnet as well!! Brilliant!! I sense you like to write sonnets as I do. (I write a number of other different poetic formats as well.) I've also marked you as a favorite poet -- and certainly invite you to read my poetry as well. Best Always, Gary

O gratitude Gary. well you are right, I enjoy writing sonnets more than any other styles of poems, however I do use other poetic styles as well but not as much. Thanks again, i'll certainly read more of your work and I am sure i'll probably be inspired to write more.
