At the beginning of this year I said I was going to express myself more and one way I've been doing that lately is through poetry. I'm constantly in my head conjuring up different words and people to write about. Using my emotions to rhyme with a few treasured memories has made them all the more special :) And I have another one for you!
This one was based on a dream I once had about being in love. When I have dreams like that I have this secret hope that I could just stay a while longer before my alarm goes off, but dreams are a cruel lover and eventually we have to wake up from them. I was caught in this starry-eyed trance when I wrote this. It was almost like this came directly from my dream and fell onto the page. I have this silly hopeless romantic theory that whoever I am dreaming about is the one I'll end up with and maybe somewhere they're doing the same thing :) lol. Silly, right? Well, in any case, here's something new for you guys to sink your teeth into. Enjoy!
"Dent In the Pillow"
Late last night
I had that dream
again of you and I.
We were laughing,
holding each other tight.
I can't believe that
you are mine.
And as the sun
came up to break the
dawn.
I opened up my
eyes and you
were gone.
I realized that
it was all just
a dream.
But there was
a dent in the
pillow next to
me.
Your smile was so
sweet. It ignited
an inferno inside
of me.
Your soft touch
was more than just
a rush.
Maybe something bigger
than the both of
us combined.
Reality can be so
bittersweet, but
when I close my
eyes and dream
everything in my
world is right.
I can fall and drift away
taken by your loving
sway and I'd never
wake again if I could
just stay.
Sweet Dreams, readers!
Xoxo,
B.
