As You Stand Beside Me...Dream

Follow in my footsteps through this land of broken dreams
Together find the other side where we can still believe
In those who truly love us for the people that we are
Those who wish beside us as we wish upon the stars
As you stand beside me through my madness and my fears
As you put your arm around to gently dry my tears
I need to say my darling that I’m glad you are with me
Thank you for still standing, when in blindness I don’t see

Hold me as I dream tonight, please keep me in your arms
I love the feeling wrapped inside your wonder and your charm
Could there be a place for us, somewhere in this world?
Maybe reading by a fireplace within each other curled
We can interrupt our reading as we reach out for a kiss
Happiness is found in little moments just like this
If dreams are meant for dreamers, would you like to dream with me?
If dreams are meant for coming true, could this one ever be?

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Tracey,

No matter what happens, never give up on your dreams.  For one day, they may become your reality.  Wonderful write.

Fire blazing
you resting against my side
book in hand
though not in mind
a kiss
perfect
here and now
a dream without
precedent

show me how?

Noah, thank you sweet friend. Your replies are always such a joy to read, you are truly a wonderful person. Don’t ever lose that wonderful heart of yours.

Magnus, yes, dreams are very special aren’t they? And we need never lose them. Thank you for the kind words.

Lone Wolf, I agree, we should never give up on our dreams. Life without dreams would be a poor life indeed.

Sven, what you say is very true indeed. We should never stop the dreaming. Thank you for reading and commenting on this one

Nancy, so glad you enjoyed this, as it always give me great pleasure to read your poetry.

Kacy, I hope so too. I wish that all our dreams could come true. Often times, we do have the power to make them come true, but fear holds us back.

Duncan, you know I’m always glad to see you here. Love your poetic response, it is beautiful as always.
I could show you where this dream resides
We could have this and more besides
Take my hand, I’ll lead you there
A fairytale that two can share
Where dreams can be reality
It’s in the heart, just follow me.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Open your eyes
and look into your mind
your dream lies
do not fear what you find

So awaken it
your dream, tenderly sought
to what is writ
the words of loving thought

Fear not your dreams Tracey ...
allow them to hold you close each night.

Tracey - dream large! There is only one thing that ever holds one back from realizing their dreams and that is fear.  I didn't follow my heart but my friend did, and she realized hers before it was too late, and I am still waiting - nah, had a happy life, but not the one I really wanted, so don't let fear stop you!  Oh rambling, lol, loved the poem see - it got me thinking.

Sandra, thank you…we can but dream..sometimes they really do come true

Jaunita, what you say is very true-something I often say myself

Karen, ah, you Queen of dreamers, so glad you liked it. I think all our dreams should come true

Victoria, thank you so much

Shadowed Innersense, what a beautiful piece you have written there.  I really like this style on you Craig (yes, I cheated and looked back on one of your other poems. I had read a couple at work, but couldn’t respond from there. Really like what you’ve been writing

Kathleen, so glad you enjoyed it

Sharon, I know whereof you speak. I did the exact same thing once myself, and lived to regret it. I agree, if you have a dream, you should do all in your power to make it a reality. Fear holds us back too often from realizing our dreams.

Michael, thank you so much. Yes, it was a fun afternoon, so glad I could meet you. I just love your city and hope to visit again sometime
