Once I Dreamed a Little Dream

it was of someone I once knew but I did not yet know it was of love and kindness a union of spirit a familiar soul but this was only a dream drifting in my night my heart takes flight during summers sad moments all alone in dreams dreamt of you I feel you I know you or how you are not this dream will linger in my heart when I awake the sadness returns a bittersweet feeling of losing something unknown in a dream like the drops of doom I could not shake years of isolation from my heart deep in my soul were I not to chase the dream Would I not know the love of divinities' devotion? If I don’t try… …could I survive the inevitable empty Room… A soul takes when love breaks. I pondered why you were sent once I found someone a time long ago Someone to have N to hold someone I never knew I was afraid of it afraid it would feel small n fall away like my dreams dreamt along the way and I will feel weak and lie awake wondering why I would walk in the afterthoughts of you I awake with the sadness from a Dream, I once Dreamt of you or someone I thought I knew It will return as bittersweet feelings I could not scrub away the feelings like bitter thick dew, maybe that was my fear bloody and cruel, I could not run from dreams dreamt of you Afraid it would break a fragile image of you until I woke and that feeling did not flee Was not fragile or fleeting like morning dew As this was reality a dark but sweet feeling I felt memory cover me I try not to flee I did not want to shake your future visions free As you are sold real mine to hold years still come and go always something new And now I will dream a different dream of one spent forever with you

Jehiel this was chilling and so beautiful because it resonated on a personal level. What I enjoy the most about poetry is that the moment that the right string of words is threaded together, it can tap into every fiber of that particular emotion asking to be felt.
