Maurice Yvonne Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

The Privacy of Your Dreams

what do you dream of when you go to sleep at night
where do you fly to when you turn off the light
hours of travel all alone in your mind
tell me there what it is you find 

together in our wake
i long for a retake
when we kiss under the heavens
i know i'm rolling all sevens

who is it that you meet in the darkness of your sleep
just you two lit by moonbeams in the ocean deep
does he look anything like me
who is he then your fantasy

i hate to invade your privacy
your dreamworld is yours to see
but in the freedom of your imagination 
am i your choice in a world void of caution

Lisa Ricci April 10, 2017 at 1:27 PM Hello Muarice. First I enjoyed the formatting and layout execution. Your theme is lovely. Not that I pay attention to the remarks of others because I want to have my own opinion and review however I so agree with Victor. Let me also add nice work and execution with the rhyme. Well done entirely.

Poet Destroyer A October 7, 2016 at 6:42 AM That's beautifully romantic, an invitation indeed is needed. You know what I love about this poem... You, yup, YOU WROTE IT... no one can write in deep in wonder like you. Always ...Linda

Paloma P October 6, 2016 at 5:25 AM Beautifully expressed yearning. A dream to aspire to.

Nette Onclaud September 19, 2016 at 1:55 PM how dreamy are your lines, your thoughts.. a deserving POTW choice, maurice..huggs

Jolene Cheyney September 18, 2016 at 5:01 PM Congrats on potw. Very nice poem. The answer, from the time I was nine till I was 27 I only remember dreams being my recurring nightmare. After that very very very very few Recollections of Dreams. Since January I may have had two dreams. Yes, one of a man. Won't say his name. The other was another nightmare. Different one but another nightmare. With nightmares like that the absence of Dreams might be preferable. Congratulations again.

David Mohn September 18, 2016 at 12:21 AM shall we dare read the rorschach of dreams...intriguing Maurice

Andrea Dietrich September 16, 2016 at 8:25 PM This is the kind of thing I would love to find out about my good friends! And YOU!! As for myself, my dreams are so strange, they often involve people I do not even know from Adam!! AS usual, a poem I loved reading. You are someone I can always depend on to deliver an enjoyable poem. SEVEN

Richard Lamoureux September 15, 2016 at 9:52 PM Interesting thought, I'll have to ask my wife about who she dreams of. I'll add my seven to your fine poem.

Connie Marcum Wong September 15, 2016 at 8:24 PM Armand, I love the mention of travel in your first stanza. In our dreams we have the ability to go anywhere and do anything. I love the journey your poem took me on. Beautiful! 7 : )

Carol B. September 15, 2016 at 4:38 PM Love this poem ?? A fav

Sara Kendrick September 15, 2016 at 3:53 PM Enjoyed reading your work..I like the design ..Sara

Carolyn Devonshire September 15, 2016 at 1:24 PM While it's true we have no choice of companions in our dreams, or choices in the waking world (as you describe in the last verse) are what count the most. Often dream characters seem faceless and unidentifiable. Perhaps one day we will meet in our dreams. Love this, Maurice!

Charmaine Chircop September 15, 2016 at 12:32 AM How more beautiful than this can it get ? A fave
