Best Dreamed(A) 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...

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?...

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...

I dreamed a dream and I mourned you once again,
I woke up in tears as I turned and saw your picture,
I try to move on with my life, but I only pretend,
For your silver chain has become a permanent fixture.

I woke...

I dreamed a dream what my desperate heart needs. A healthy mind, body and spirit 
to function has a fully human being. A desperate heart yearns to look upon success 
in all my endeavors in my career, relationship, and finance. A dream that will take...

A chase thru the jungle ~ frightening calls 

Black Panther takes down~ sturdy wild boar 

Silence of forest~ a vicious death by jaws

Warm scent of fresh blood~ a savory lick of the claws 


Hairs at attention ~  as I slipped passed and crawled ...

I dreamed a dream
But my dream stuck in an hourglass
I cry, I cry
As I stare at my own leap of sands

You, poor soul of mine!
Pen the prelude in the pack of the stars
Patiently wait until it becomes like one
And itself, bring home the sunrise
To my...

I dreamed a dream in which my wish came true-
	something I thought perhaps may never be,
since one can never know what time brings you;
	I dreamed a dream of something I might see.

I woke and thought about my first grandchild-
	a boy, grown up and married with...

I dreamed a sandwich 
creation. I enjoyed
eating it as well as preparing it
as I slept. I
could even smell it
cooking and I felt the
texture of it as I ate it
in my sleep. It
tasted so good. I 
must prepare it 
in my waking hours
as well. There is
nothing...
