Me the Dreamcatcher

<>The Dreamcatcher
~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
Out doing what I do,
Catching dreams looking
Tonight I caught a few
Here's one I found touching
Hope you find it that way too.

I felt your pain the pressure
Your heart guiding your pen
Express, don’t feel lesser
Your words let them open
Like a key to your dresser

Your honesty now exposing
You, your very true emotions
When writing, or composing
Your unrequited love, devotion
His obsessiveness, imposing

Making you feel your wrong
Has you in a vice-like grip.
Time to give him a swan song
Catch him out make him trip
The truth you knew all along

In case you did not know
I am the Dreamcatcher
And before I let you go
Dream, one more chapter
Find a man who’ll love you so

So I can catch your dream
Set you free to pursue love
Find a King, be his Queen
A nudge, a gentle tiny shove
Awake, not aware I’ve been

You will feel your soul refreshed
Your thoughts no longer in a mess
Your heart, no more enmeshed
Start looking for a wedding dress
All done, dawn, time for me to rest

Your beautiful sad poem inspired me
To reply in verse, with my poetry
Thanking you so much, hope you like it
As much as I did composing and writing it.
Thanks again, me the
Dreamcatcher

"Your words let them open Like a key to your dresser" thought those lines were interesting in particular. In short, I love it, Mick! This was an incredible poem and it's going straight to my favorites. I have a small dreamcatcher that hangs in my room from the Grand Canyon. I like the different designs. Very neat. Great one! Always, Laura

Whimsical, wise and hopeful. I really like the Dreamcatcher's rhythmic, soothing tone of voice. A very interesting, splendid write. Enjoyed!
