Karen Jones Poet Couplet

Lavender Dreams Awaiting

Soft lavender dreams wafting in air
Cuddling my nose my eyes my hair

Sleep is the door open to fantasies 
What will I see in tonight’s reveries 

Will I be well rested when I awaken
My heart bested by desires forsaken 

Will I feel red lovely warm sensation 
Like I’ve been on a tropical vacation

I refuse to believe in nightmares again 
I run my dream world in it I’ll always win

My muse is asleep and she’ll wake before
I’m ready to part with my pillow and snore

Joseph P. DiMino January 14, 2026 at 4:19 AM "I refuse to believe in nightmares again I run my dream world in it I’ll always win" -- Brilliant profound poetry. What we declare, whether asleep or awake, will affect our reality both asleep and awake. Karen Jones January 14, 2026 at 4:35 AM Wow! I’m honored you consider this “brilliant profound poetry” Joe! Thank you so much!
