she cried the cry
of lonely
of lonely
        nights – dreams
and the days
sometimes, she thinks

sometimes those are the worst...

back to dreaming, she thinks

back to dreaming
of days and sun
and skies

clear
      blue
           skies

fingertips outstretched
to happiness, just
out of reach
fades

…back to sleep
to dream the void

i like this a lot. its original in style. and beautiful.
i especially like the end:
fingertips outstretched
to happiness, just
out of reach
fades
…back to sleep
to dream the void

to dream the void....something i feel i do.
beautiful words.

Ahhh Ms Nic - how well I know this. I was going to pick a favorite part, but found I had the whole thing highlighted. Sigh - sleep can be so elusive and so enticing, can't it.

Dream lady - there is a better worlld ahead.

Nicole, I feel this deeply. I have been there..am there a lot. Let's hope that someday all these words will just be 'that poem you wrote before'. Take care!

Something about this really struck me, I can't quite put my finger on it. It says so much with so little, maybe that was it. Great work..nice to meet you by the way.

Satiate, this one is very thought-provoking, seeing the sleeping dreamer reach out for something more tangible, good and real, before realizing that too is just a dream before seeking nocturnal safety in the familiar void of oblivion. Nice work.
