As I wend my way around curving roads
up high into the mountains
I finally arrive at the Eight Gables Inn.
I wonder what it is that drives me here!
Perhaps I have developed wings
and flew across the Atlantic towards
The Great Smoky Mountains
on my adventurous ride
to the Blue Ridge Mountains.
 
Tired I hope the Inn
will live up to its reputation.
The sun is setting as I view
the purple orange skies darken,
whilst here and there lights
in desolate cottages twinkle in the dark.
I hasten to my private bath
and slowly sink in the warm water,
overpowered by the smell of soapy foams.
Pleased with my silky skin
I put on a plush bathrobe
luxuriously enjoying the feel
of the soft fabric against my spores,
and with a graceful dive find myself
on top of a feather-top bed.
This is the life of luxury...
 
Until I feel the taste of blotting paper
that cover my whole mouth.
I open my eyes and know
it was all a dream, alas.

Victor what a wonderful dream to have. Perhaps someday you can take part in it and travel and have that experience. If I was rich I'd send you a plane ticket to any place you'd wish to go...

Top Self poetry, Victor! Oh well, cheaper than the real thing...and, apparently none the less appreciated by your heart. Often for those with means and power, like everything else, it is never enough.

Dreams are sometimes pleasurable others not. This one well done and said. I like my own bed

Now, that's what I call a real dream vacation, Victor. It was so perfect-the kind of dream you wish would go on and on! Your writing is superb. :)

What a lovely dream. If we can keep having dreams like these every so often, we can enjoy the finer things in life without ever having to worry about money. What a shame that was all an imaginary concept.

You described the place beautifully. Dream or not-- you held my attention from start to end.

Beautiful dream. If we get such dreams once in a while, we can enjoy luxury without spending a penny ! You are so imaginative, dear Victor !

You certainly came down to earth with a bump but the memory lingers for the rest of the day Buy a lottery ticket Victor, who knows you could be living the dream. Tom
