Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

I Wish My Reality Were

“Heavenly shades of night are falling,”
yet I’m feeling so blue.
for I have found only one way
that I can be with you.

“I’ve just closed my eyes again”
at the end of a lonely day,
anxious to be with you
as all the mundane slips away.

“Oh, my love, my darling,”
your kisses are sweeter than sweet.
I’m living my days for the nights,
for only in dreams do we meet.

I wish my reality
were, instead, these nights of pure bliss.
Then it could mean just one thing:
“I was dreaming when I wrote this.”

Phrases used in my poem came from: 
Verse 1: Twilight Time/ The Platters
Verse 2: Dream Weaver/ REO Speedwagon
Verse 3: Unchained Melody/ The Righteous Brothers
Verse 4: 1999/ Prince

For the Reality contest of Nayda

Robert A. Dufresne May 14, 2011 at 12:51 PM love 'em all. sang every verse to the songs. Great job ...sure looks like a winner, Andrea

Carolyn Devonshire May 14, 2011 at 11:31 AM Brilliant, Andrea. My sister used to play that old Platters song over and over again. There was something magical about it. Unchained Melody is one of my all-time faves, especially after seeing "Ghost." You wove these songs together very well and I'm sure you have a winner here. Love, Carolyn

Joyce Johnson May 14, 2011 at 9:59 AM Great work Andrea. A winner I am sure. I have not tried this contest. I am not hep enough for the new songs and I can't understand a word they say anyway. I am still at my brothers so cannot be very active on the site. Going home again Monday. I have to write poems for our new district officers as we put them into office and for an invocation for our state convention in June. I can't seem to think here in the confusion of a sick household. Love, Joyce
