Streaming, Dreaming Cold.

Damn this cold, it's getting worse,
Draining energies and stealing verse,
As quickly as they come to mind,
They cease to be, are hard to find.

So hard so hard to concentrate,
Thoughts of you do infiltrate,
This sluggish mind,
This dull mind's-eye,
No matter how hard I try
To banish you from my thought,
With sweet vision of you,
I'm always caught.

Yes you, sweet you, so far away,
In land I'd love to see one day,
Although perhaps I never will,
I'll dream and dream am dreaming still.

John,

I think this is adorable.  Hope you get over the cold soon.

twnsgd.....No, no cold and I'm not sure about the girl...lol

Swamp...I agree, love is no dream. The realisation of it is something else

John--This is wonderful (as are all of your poems).  It's amazing how the mind can conjure up what the heart desires.

No cold bug, no girl?
All an illusion of mind,
wow, can I have a referral?
You have me walking away blind
one day hoping your autograph signed.

Freckles & Lost dreamer, I am extremely flattered, thank you. Perhaps one day I shall aspire to your heights.

ESP....I have no cold,
       I feel quite well,
       A little old,
       It's true to tell,
       I shall survive,
       And write again,
       But no more colds,
       I pray amen

 May your roof never fall in and those beneath it never fall out.
