                  My Dreams

I've always dreamed about my life.
Some think I am unwise.
My best dreams are the waking kind.
I still romanticize.

When I was young, I dreamed I'd meet
A prince upon a horse,
But princes are in short supply.
He never came, of course.

As I grew up, my dreams grew, too.
My hopes were rearranged,
But still I dreamed I would find love,
And that part never changed.

I dreamed I'd spent eternity
With my beloved best friend.
While that dream nearly did come true,
It hurt me in the end.

I've dreamed a lot of dreams since then,
And some of them you've known,
But while my dreams involved real men,
I always dreamed alone.

And then one day you came to me,
And suddenly it seemed
That you were the fulfillment of
A dream I'd never dreamed.

I never thought of soulmates 'til
I found my own in you,
Nor dreamed two souls could intertwine
The way yours and mine do.

I know that you're not perfect, and
You know the same of me,
But in each other we can find
The best that we can be.

Despite the many obstacles
We have before our view,
We'll overcome, for my best dreams
Of all I dream with you.

Thanks, Septsong (love that song, btw!).  I hope the "you" in the poem thinks so, too.   < !signature-->

Thanks, Debbie.  I'm pleased you want to share this with someone you love. What I write is always so personal, I'm a little surprised when others identify with it. Glad you like it.

I guess I can relate to this one too. Its very well written

Sometimes you have to let go and move on,
But never let go of the memories.

Thank you, Maria and Denise. This one is a little bit Denise's fault. Reading her dream one, and pulling up my own about a former dream man made me start thinking - always a dangerous thing.

KCS~
This is a lovely look at your dreams ...
wishes from the heart.

'And then one day you came to me,
And suddenly it seemed
That you were the fulfillment of
A dream I'd never dreamed.'


Such a lovely thought ...

Thank you, Marge.   That is one of my favorite thoughts, too. Interesting how our dreams change, isn't it?

This is so sweet and romantic and almost made me cry...Very well written..  

With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.

Thanks, Angel.  Didn't want to make you cry, though. These are happy dreams for me.

And Jon, I am an inveterate dreamer I guess.  Thank you.

mar..most of my dreams are of the waking kind too!  lol--they tend to make more sense than those jumbled-up faceless kind from sleep  

i love this one--so many great lines!    and maybe its because your poetry is "so personal" that others can identify with it  

hugs,dg


my soul is painted like the wings of butterflies...fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die...i can fly--my friends -Queen

Thank you, Best.  We all need a little romance, don't we?  

And, dg, I agree completely.  In fact, I hardly remember anything about my dreams from sleep, except on rare occasions.  Thanks for your kind words, friend. hugs
