Dreams of Dreams
            

      I had a dream within my dream

          my dreams were both of you

      And there within my dream of dreams

          a feeling of deja vu

      Let me tell you that was freaky

          let me tell you it was odd

      To find myself beside myself

          again with you and your facade

      Oh my god...the roads we traveled

           the lows..but oh those highs

      Even in my dream of dreams

           visions of you and I tremble inside

      You cast your spell upon me

           to you I'm forever bound

      My heart and soul cry out for you

           and I never make a sound

      Now I think I know the reason

           for the dream within a dream

      For within my dreams you come to me

           and you're mine or so it seems

      And as long as I am dreaming

           I can hold you here inside

      If I dream a dream within my dream

           I can hold you 'til I die

      You have asked me to stop dreaming

           and to put my faith in you

      And with all that flows between us

           it should be so easy to do

      But I'm fearful of the outcome

           you forget I know the past

      You forget I know your wants and needs

           that I see behind the mask

      While it's true that I do love you

           and I need you through the night

      Though I know I'm in your heart

           I don't fill your appetite

      For within me there's a need

           a desire to fulfill

      A need to be the one and only

           you're not ready I can tell          

      So let's trip the light fantastic

           for tonight  you're mine alone

      Hold me love me in your own way

           make me scream and make me moan

      You're the spark and I'm the kindling

           let it rip...watch us burn

      For I know in light of day

           I'll be longing for your return.

I loved this. Your rhyming was excellent. Your story within a story captivated me. Absolutely wonderful poetry, Sue . . .

As Jerry said, story within a story and the rhyming flowed wonderfully...

... and, then, quoting here from the Great Yogi Berra (a NY Yankee) (Gotta love it!)... it will feel like "deja vu all over again!"  Enjoyed!
