Drifting in and out of dreams
I begin to believe you are in my bed
I can feel your breath on my neck
Your arms embrace me fully
Our heartbeats combine in a tango
As fantasy becomes reality
We move as one
A dance of two lovers
Then just as quickly as you appeared
You disappear and I return to sleeping
Only to awake to your memory
Forever entwined with my heart
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – combine
A mundane existence
Is what I dream of
No nights of torment
No days of depression
Just an ordinary time
A few clouds in the sky
But no rain
Flowers growing
But no blooms
Perfectly in the middle
Never either extreme
To live life completely balanced
No highs
No lows
A mundane existence
That is my dream
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – mundane
She hears your voice
When you first wake up
That half tired
Deep morning mumble
That sounds so sexy
She sees you first
Fresh out of the shower
Hair still wet
Towel around your waist
Smelling of soap
She tastes your
Lingering breakfast
As you get ready for work
The same every morning
Toast with jam and cream in your coffee
She starts her day with you
Embraced in a hug
A passionate goodbye kiss
And an “I love you babe”
With that sultry smile of yours
I settle for
A hello and a grin
And a “what was your name”
While dreaming it was me with you
And she who was the one jealous
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – jealous
I saw it happen
I knew it was coming
A prescient dream
Made me aware
But I didn’t heed it
Didn’t trust the warning
And now
It is too late
You lay in a coma
And I live
Full of regret
Without you
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – prescient
In pursuit of the perfect dream
I lost a lot along the way…
First to go was my mind
As troubles weighed me down
I felt as if I’d drown
Next was my heart
When I misjudged him then
I lost what could have been
Finally I have a body
That now rejects what I want
Memories of painless days only taunt
In pursuit of the perfect dream
I lost a lot of me…
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – pursuit
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.
