Best Dreamed Poems

Yesterday I dreamed a dream,
that had no end.
You in your white gown, and long, black hair flowing.
You were calling my name.
I heard you, but I couldn't reach you!

And when I say your soul was tainted.
You went out in the night life.
You dressed in your black,...

I dreamed a butterfly in golden days
when buttercups lay in the fields ablaze.
It fluttered to my cheek, sweet love to bring.
My heart was wont to burst and wont to sing.
In breath of morn was scent of bluebell sprays.

On blossomed blankets of the fields we’d laze,
and...

THE MAN WHO DREAMED HIS LIFE AWAY

When I was young the Moon was lifted    
Hung with tacks and thread 
On a mystical ceiling of dreams

She in her skyward place    I in my bed
We lay so tightly wed  ...

The heavens sing in star dust whispers
beneath the moon’s enchanted smile
While hand in hand we slowly wander
past sycamores in autumn style

The breeze is cool this path a’ winding
so fresh the scent of twilight bliss
Enchanted moments come this season
in shadows dim I steal a kiss

Of lips...

One sleep filled night I dreamed a peaceful dream,
of emerald forests and tranquil streams.
I sat beneath a bending willow tree,
with leaf filled limbs it lent its shade to me.

I heard the sweet song of a robin near,
the sound of a memory held so dear.
It reminded...

I once
dreamed a dream
about four blossoming roses.

As footprints trampled upon silent snow

one died from a chilling childhood,
frozen within dark chambers of the mind.
Aspirations disappeared with migrating nightingales.

As robins built their nests.

Jaded, one died from wondering 
if you loved or not -
all that remained was a...

it was of someone I once knew
but I did not yet know 
it was of love and kindness 
a union of spirit a familiar soul 
but this was only a dream 
drifting in my night 
my heart takes flight 
during summers sad moments 
all alone...

You wrote the song that enchanted lyrics
Composing avid tone to melody of music
Attuning cleverly to tenor of fantasies
Sending sensual hints to passionate wishes, 

As vibrant stars ceded to darker motifs.

Infantile was my dream in night's reverie
Cuddling arms of love, hugging intently
Delighting in whispers of zealous...

I Dreamed a Dream?

I had a dog – a tiny Eskimo
who loved me very much. Nevertheless,
I had to let my cherished doggie go.
This situation caused me such distress.

He was adopted, or so I’d been told.
And there was nothing I could do but grieve.
Was he ok?...

A dream I had last night

So vivid and so true,

An Eagle I was, flying

Over places I knew


My wings had stretched wide 

To lift me to the sky 

To view beauty from above 

As far as could see, my eye


I soared over mountains 

And valleys of...

Gone for a fourth of a century
And yet I can plainly see
My mother's face in the mirror
Looking back at me.

The gray among the auburn,
Those lines around the eyes.
She shakes her head and whispers,
"It should be no great surprise."

There are marks that only sorrow
Could have etched...

As a child I loved to dream,  
making my days and nights grand.
Reading made my dreams come true,
far off places I wanted to see.
As the many years went by,
some dreams came true,
others lay dying.
What I learned through the years,
as an entity in the dream...

I dreamed...
Of driftwood
Dancing over waves
Performing flips
And leaps
Before collapsing
Into despair
The deepest depths
Ever swallowing
Can't breathe...
Can't speak...
The driftwood
Breaches the surface
Hanging on
By a splinter
Thunder crackled
Lightning lanced
In the middle of the sea
There are no gods
There are no hopes
And no dreams
Only deepest despair
Of what lies beneath
And the overwhelming sense
The end is...

I dreamed a bird-of paradise arose one starry night.
Beautifully plumed, it floated in mystical moon-light.
I drifted along with it, as delicate as fine lace,
extraordinarily content, unconstrained and graceful....

I dreamt a dream...with eyes awake 
As I walked alone...round dreamer's lake 
I dreamt that I...was in the crowds 
Of white winged angels...above the clouds 
Watching someone...whose near their death 
Gasping, panting...for his last breath 
Watching, waiting...for his eyes to close 
To give him wings...when...
