Only in Dreams The star of one's heart seen in dreams, is the star of sleeps silver screen.Quote - Poets own Imaginary love Daphne awaits Smiling even though her lonesome heart aches She lives in an unreal dreamlike world In dreams her hopes start to become unfurled. Peering through hazy mist someone appears Daphne is reduced to shed joyous tears Her dreamboat is a shadowy figure Ethereal, an emotive trigger. Trancelike he's sauntering towards Daphne This moment she's waited for patiently He is a Prince Charming to say the least As tenderly he sweeps her off her feet. Embraced in his arms, it feels surreal At long last Daphne knows how true love feels. 25th May 2021 Writing Prompt - Dreamlike - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France * * (Words in bold print are a contest requirement.)

I am so glad I found this Belle. It is a wonderful contender for the prize...and perhaps a prize for the most compact and efficient..."She lives in an unreal dreamlike world". I loved it.
