Best Pipe Dream Poems

A living tree has been planted to symbolize a life which has taken snuffed out, slained 
in his prime.Detectives haven't solved the crime.Future basketball star where are you now
heaven or purgatory.Your soul needs to rest,shooting hoops,doing lay-ups sweating,running
passing stop,go dribble,dribble,stop! screech, halt!. Running the back...

It is rare when a woman is interested in a ball game.
However, your excuse for going is pretty lame.
There is not a single fact of baseball you know.
You could not tell Babe Ruth from Joe DiMaggio.
And that fact unfortunately is just the beginning.
Each part of...

An isolated glare
From across the room 
Suggest me to conclude 
It will be on....very soon 
We sit and stare
As you lightly tug 
The ends of my hair 
The sensation of your lips 
Makes it extremely pretentious 
To resist the infatuation 
That wants to erupt 
Deep-seated...

The team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein displayed prowess.
It seemed everything they produced would be a success.
There was triumph for some Broadway shows nobody could deny.
They included “Oklahoma”, “State Fair”, and “The King and I”.
Two more melodious plays that were absolutely terrific
were the widely-heralded...

Up goes the smoke
As I light up this
Piece of a dream
N0----
As I smoke up this dream
To later awaken to the reality
It's all a BIG mistake!
And while I have this glass pipe in my mouth,
I finally
I slowly
Kill myself as I die
Spending every damn dime
On a little...

Each and every night, in dream you lay beside me
I rub your legs to erase the chill
I enjoy keeping you warm
While you keep me warm

Each and every night, I sleep so well
Your smell, upon my tongue I taste
It’s a love I know well
But not its...

Utopia, by definition is non-existent and never achievable
A Utopian society realized must pop like a shiny soap bubble with rainbow sheen glistening
So Utopia is an objective, an aim, a pipe dream of perfection
Greed and selfishness will always pull it down

It is like how the the...

But I ripped them up,
Thinking my work was so incomplete, so inadequate.
I wonder if I am living in a pipe dream.
But since I was a little girl growing up in New York,
Always wanted to be a writer or poet.
Submitting creative works to magazines,
Only with the...

just
beyond
his compass
ambitions lay
buried deep within long forgotten dreams;
then
the band
started up,
and he awoke-
seizing his chance,re-joined life's merry dance...

Pipe Dream Down The Avenue
Sun host wishes as roses fling in zephyrs of a
florist edge ... girls prefer them in a bouquet


Candy store chocolates in their pre-melt state, 
mixes of boxes, bows ... gift sweets girls relish


Large windowfront with pieces...

pipe dream 
false hope 
in a future 
together 
unrealistic 
irrational 
internalized 
rose colored 
clouds that 
cover up the 
truth of reality 
there is no hope 
for a future together 
now 
truly there was 
never ever any 
chance of a life 
time together 
it was all...

The old man blows softly into his pipe
And the wind he blows floats seemlessly into the night
And is swells and grows as he calls to the light
But the darkness knows that his calling will never alight
It will start and stuck for its ghosts that he...

Back on Baker Street -
pulling on a calabash pipe.
Paganini and Bach stream through
a cracked third-story window.

The Merseybeat’s…
the disaffected Pink Floyd years,
Mary Jane brain, mulling over 
puffing magic dragons;
reading Sherlock Holmes
secretly.

Today, downloading
a picture of myself back then,
no pipe just a youthful smirk
as I strut down that...

feeling rushes through this pipe-dream
gushing like the leak in Louisiana
leaking barrels and barrels of me
killing what surrounds as it bleeds

there is no fixing this enormous spill
it spews too fast, with its own will
Haliburton can't control the danger
 my heart the only thing endangered...
