Click hereWhen dreamers dream so beautiful
of love that lights the darkest night,
no logic strong enough to break
as lovers spread their wings in flight.
Suppressed within our deepest parts
this truth each soul desires,
still searching for what can't be found
faith and hope this truth requires.
For love that stands the test of time
and overshadows all the lies,
can not be forced upon a soul
even chains the heart denies.
To love enough to let it go
the soul that's longing to be free,
a sacrifice too great for words
with heart alone is how to see.
When broken wings prevent such flight
and sorrow cries her deepest cry,
again to question fate herself
for even dreamers wonder why.
Somewhere within the midst of all
as this dreamer still does weep,
she knows to rest her heart again
for dreams still wait there in her sleep.

LeBrozabout 17 years agoDreams, dreamers and all they promise. Nicely done piece made softly romantic by its rhythm & rhyme structure.
Syndra Lynnalmost 20 years agoI like the meter and I am a fan of rhyme. You did a lovely job of expressing your feelings here. Keep writing!
jthserraalmost 20 years agowith only a few breaks in the rhythm here. The rhyme, though fairly simple, is subtle and works well. The metaphor of wings was nice and I would like to have seen it developed more in the poem with some added imagery. I think if you work some on presenting some concrete images to show the reader what you are saying instead of just telling them, the poem would really shine. Some nice work here, very good.
