A picture, some words and a bit of harsh reality
The breeze is warm
Feeling moist on my skin
The sand is hot under my feet
The sun beats down
Coloring my skin
A cold drink in my hand
Quenches my tropical thirst
As I sit down in my chair
I am content to watch the waves
As they roll over the beach
In my little dream of paradise
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – tropical
My health has resulted in
A chart filled with diagnoses
One disease blends into another
My dreams are filled with a panacea
To chase all symptoms away
But so far there are no cures
Only management by meds
So I slip back into slumber
For a brief hour or two of sleep
And dream of that wonder pill
So I can be normal again
I close my eyes
And sail across a dream
On silky smooth seas
Sparkling like diamonds
Only to find
The sea is a mirror
And the land
Is all yellow trees
Under a purple sun
I sail to find you
Floating upside down
Reaching for a cloud
Of marshmallow cream
I know you are lost
In this strange dreamland…
BUZZZZZZZZZZ!
There once was a girl who was brassy
Some might even say she was sassy
But she had a dream
To change how she seemed
So others would considered her quite classy
I awoke with a start
I was already panicked
Was the noise all a dream
Or was something the matter.
The sound woke me up
It was really quite loud
Was it a fire cracker going off
Or was it something more.
I looked all around inside
Peeked out through the curtains
But all seemed quite normal
Nothing held a fiery glow.
So it had to have been a dream
But I still can’t help but wonder
If some exterior sound may have
Warped my reality a bit this morning.
like an invisible force
the unseen pull
drags me to you
even though I shouldn’t
even though it’s a wasted dream
I still come to you
hoping
wishing
needing
you to love me
The specific details are hard to recall
But you were there and that started it all
It started a heartbeat deep in my soul
When you took my hand and we went for a stroll
I remember we walked
I remember we talked
But what was said and where we went
I don’t recall during this event
All I know is we were close and you held me tight
My body reacted on that special night
And I saw you in a different light
And I loved you with all my might
When you did what you do
I felt brand new
Now my love is forever deep inside for you
And it all started with a dream from out of the blue
