The Doorway To Dreams

************************************************************                 
              "I open the door and cross the threshold of imagination"

                                                          Here
                                                         Inside
                                                       I can see
                                                 Untamed beauty
                               A place of true hope and of perfect peace
                           A wondrous world where love conquers the hate
                                                    Refuge is found
                                                      In still night's
                                                         Within
                                                         Dreams

                                                                               Desires
                                                                               Resting
                                                                               Earnestly
                                                                               Amidst
                                                                               Midnight
                                                                               Slumbers


   Petitioned upon pillows
   Daily devotions
   Confess sleep’s supplications

My, what a poem you have there, Chiquita. Very well done. My editor's cap suggests one small change in punctuation--If you mean "nights" to be only one make it "night's". If more than one make it "nights'". Thanks, too for your nice comments on my sleep poem.

another killer poem. I am going to read all of your posted poems. gimme a cpl days. don't get frustrated if a ton of people do not read your stuff. A lot of this site has to do with who comments on who. I wish people would be truthful. It's hard to win contest if you don't sit on this site for 6 hrs a day and shove compliments down ppls throats. Well, I'm not down with that. BUT, I will tell you that I deal with writers on a daily basis, and you have RAW talent. Keep em' coming.
