Dreams
by Richard Maxfield
5-14-99

DREAMS are like
A vaporous mist
Fledging thoughts
With reality twist

Invading the darkest
Of my night
Haunting till
Morning light

Sun rises
Chases them away
Only to return
Before the end of day

Shadows flicker
In my mind
Of another place
Another time

Dreams were once
Reality  
A love shared
Between you and me

Dreams can
Come true
But not dreams
Of me and you

Hopeless thoughts
Of things that pasted
Dreams of you
Will always last

Richard,

They can haunt you, but only if you let them.  Always tough to say good-bye.  Well done.

Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats
