Morpheus calls me
with his soft velvety voice
diffusing instant alert.
I am tempted to surrender
to the mellifluous tentacles
of unconsciousness,
to the irresistible vortex
of silent darkness.

My hesitation to give up
is quickly neutralized.
My eyes are shut
by a higher force.
Like a jealous lover
Morpheus demands
all my attention
no chance to resist
he is always victorious.

What he is not given
spontaneously, he takes,
we ought to keep this in mind,
it is a guarantee to survive.
So here I am relaxing in his arms,
drifting off into dreams.
In Morpheus’ embrace
I explore the world of beyond,
I receive precious gifts
and answers to many doubts.

Health and beauty are
taken care of under the stars
veils are lifted, mysteries unfold,
every night pours out its gold.
And when the soft light of dawn
welcomes me back into Life
I only wish I could remember
the beautiful gifts of the Night.

(smiles) Oh Margherita, I too wish I could remember all my dreams, sweet friend, dreaming has always been my favorite time of day since after I stopped having nightmares because I feel I'm in heaven there! (kiss on cheek) May you continue to dream and cherish all you do collect from your dreams close to your golden heart, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Margherita, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Beautiful poem,  of my favorite subj....

Dreams....and who else but the God of Dreams
to be the one controlling our sleep....

You are lucky it wasn't one of his brothers,
cause they only do dreams for animals or
inanimate objects....

Thanx for sharing this.

There you have it, and so nicely done..

Here lately all I dream about is a blown head gasket...

I need a good astral travel...

Oh, my sweet friends, I thought I had been carried away by Morpheus again ... and here you are instead with your loving words, making the wake so nice ..... dreams of the night are fascinating, but aren't daydreams too?!
Love you all. Margherita

Fantastic poem Margherita and I especially love the last stanze.

Hard as I try, I rarely remember my dreams. They seem so real and vivid at night, but come morning, they are sadly, lost forever.

Congratulations on your 2000 posts. I am so glad you are here as I love what you write.

Hugs and luvs, Marti

Hear Blessings dropping their blossoms all around you.

Ah...Morpheus...I need to find the one
I gifted to this lovely muse, and send
it to you...

I enjoyed this so very much, Margherita!
