Reality Is An Adversary of Dreams

Reality came crashing into my dream
         You were my fairytale, and my happily ever after
            You were the prince that I always dreamed of
          It's okay because I will forever have the dream
             However, reality is always lurking behind

Reality varies for each of us, as does the dream world I believe. A great poem Alexis.

Hmm, Prince Charming may be a dream, but the kiss of life is reality. God has kissed you, that is real. Very thoughtful poem, Alexis. Love and peace to you.

It sure is...I think my reality lurks in my shadow, it is always that close. But it still won't stop me from dreaming. And now I get to dream while reading because of your beautiful poem Alexis. Yep, find a new poem from you is definitely a dream come true. Really nicely done my friend.
