Best Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of Poems


The Moon, the Waves and You

The waves were gently beating
against the stark white sand
as we stood together gazin
out where there was no land.

Just endless, rolling ocean
with a caressing, scented breeze.
The stuff that dreams are made of
that brings you to your knees.

Our bodies close together
our hearts in perfect time
We'd finally found the one place
we thought we'd never find.

Angels All Around

As I was walking on the beach one day, with my dear friend in mind,
a shiny sparkling stone was there, for me to see and find..
Picking up this omen, to me was surely a must, for the sparkling
that I saw, indeed, was Heavenly Dust..
I looked up to the Heavens, and saw your loving face, I knew
at once, it was you who put it in this place..
As tears came to my eyes, and I began to cry, I thanked the Lord
many times, I didn't pass it by..
Thinking of you as I walked along the soft and glimmering sand,
I held the stone with passion, gently in my hand..
I've kept this with remembrance, of my loving friend, that's you,
and with you in mind, I hold it, to keep from feeling blue..
These words I say to you, my friend, are only just the start, 
of the gift of giving that I feel, to put comfort in your heart..
As you hear these words, remember, there's an Angel inside of you,
who knows the stuff that dreams are made of, they are made of you..
The time is now, to know our Angels, the Heavens are all set,
the journey begins, a new day is dawning, and I'm so glad we met..
Remember that the Angels strum their music, sweetly through our
souls, and guide us as we strive to reach out hopes and all our goals..
They give us visions that we see, and a light with a golden hue..
They fill us up with dreams, and watch them all come true..
Allow the windows of your soul to open to the fresh air of God,
and see the Angels watching, with a loving, understanding nod..
In this life, remember that your an Angel too, and if you
feel a presence, it's me, your Angel, watching over you..
So now the gift you gave to me on the beach that lovely day,
I give to you, in return, and I only hope and Pray, that the
peace and joy I've found in it, for you will forever stay..
Stay well my friend, and with "Angels All Around," I know
the happiness you seek will surely now be found.

Dream Residue

Lost in the stuff that dreams are made of
Floating on tails of whales
Tasting the sunrise without approbation
Sleeping in crumpled up sails
Losing my voice in the heat of a song
Lighting the stars with my candle
Piercing the poppy's delicate paper
Earrings too dainty to handle
Diving to depths with the cavern's unrest
Breathing in water for air
Shards of the sunlight pin prick my feet
like padded fins pruny and bare
Tumbled and tossing in moments engrossing
Lost in a brief afterthought
in the sweet lucid seconds between night and day
when my dream residues are still caught...


Premium Member The Galactic Genie

He travels through the Universe 
Hopping from galaxy to galaxy 
After doing what must be done 
Stopping from one star system to another 
Seeking out habitability for his super consciousness 
Turning lifelessness into life 
Each planet spinning with the stuff that dreams are made of. . .   
His dreams made manifest with mysticism and wonder 
Every solar system has a green zone 
And that is where he starts 
Out like a wizard he waves his magic wand 
Moving planets like billiard balls 
But with lots of smashing and crashing 
Fire and brimstone, he plays like a mad potter 
Until he’s satisfied with what he’s done 
But when he’s done, he’s really just begun  
To shape his world with mountains, lakes, and oceans. 
His breath he breathes into atmosphere 
A song he sings uniquely brings forth 
Greenery or purpleness, sometimes his purposefulness 
mixes the wonderfulness beyond our imagination 
Alien landscapes is what we would see 
And then the real magic begins. . . 
An infinite infinity of variations of life 
Anything he pleases, even from his sneezes 
He creates the strangest of strange 
The duck billed platypus is an example of this 
He just can’t help himself sometimes 
It’s in his nature, he’s a cosmic crusader 
An articulated animator, it’s part of his genealogy 
It makes him laugh to know that 
One day, one day 
Some lifeforms of his 
Will think him a god 
Perhaps, he is 
Perhaps 
Perhaps, he is just expressing himself 
Perhaps, he just thinks of himself

Premium Member Blessed Be

       The Earth is a living entity 

               A living sphere 

     spinning and gyro scoping 

   Forever generating and vibrating 

                Living Energy 

With a swirling nickel/iron liquid core 

         that reaches out thru the Cosmos like a cosmic door 

Forever protecting the floor of Flaura 

           The stuff that dreams are made of everyone 

     Hot magma blood that cools into a crust 

Grounded by gravity’s leash from the sun 

      An atmosphere of gases that gives 

                          All life breath 

                  The Earth, she breathes 

            just like the best of us 

                  Living here 

 
                            - Blessed Be
