Suddenly Swans

For Timothy Lee
My fried anxieties and crisped lonely would unite in my sleep's repeat nightmares where a roster of random monsters pursued their viewed, vile end of me. My pulsing terrors urged I run fast but my feet always turned to absurd concrete, freezing me caught as monsters qued for fleshy chews. Then came you with blue eyes sparkling love-shades. In time, you subdued my frantic bits and wooed me spooned in shared sleep. There, my dreams altered to tame, chiffon waters where I sat, posed, upon a beautiful swan who gracefully glided me to happiness, beside wonderous, sister swans. Suddenly, you, yes, you suddenly turned my monsters to swans who fulfill me in dreamy captures as we sleep clasped in love as depth-cast. Nightly, swans sail me thru morns detailed in dawn’s hue by love's truth. Regal swans grace my dream-phased sleep because you love-chased me.

'Regal swans grace my dream-phased sleep because you love-chased me.' I adore the way you ended this. I love the romance in this lovely poem CayCay. I wrote mine with the swans in love. This is a premier contest so I hold little hope of getting on her list, but I think yours will. Hugs and Easter blessings my friend. I called you this morn. xxoo

CayCay, this is quite wonderful, it reminded me a poem I wrote, that was more of a short story a long time ago about a magical swan who came to me in a dream, that poem along with many others got destroyed by accident and I have wished to re-create it, but it is hard to re-create a past poem, to find the mood again, at least it is for me ~

It's so nice to be around people who make us better. I find if I lay off the pistachio ice cream at bed time, I have less nightmares. Go figure. Have a great day.
