I see you in my dreams and I know not who you are. Sometimes it seems you may come from afar another time another place another life could it be? Maybe you're an angel sent here to care for me. You are not my lover but we are more than friends You know all my secrets and all the feelings I hold deep. You only come to me in my sleep. I look around corners and peep through doors trying to find what I can not see. Maybe you are the feelings and emotions I hold in. Could you be some old friend? I try not to open my eyes so I can see where the story ends But you are just a reoccuring scene in a dream my friend This is a little weird I know but it kept jumping in my head till I wrote it down maybe it will stop now. |

It's good to get those things out. Sometimes I have just a vague feeling I can't really put words on, but when I sit down to write, the words *pour* out. Sometimes though, I come up with these lines that will not go away. I like the Victorian style devotion and affection the speaker portrays, and the melancholy in the lines, "But you are just a reoccuring scene / in a dream / my friend," as if the speaker is really just resigning him/herself to the fact that there is no label for the dream character. Nice. |

yeah. Like they say, you have to get those words out. I often write poems on the bus home from work (the raw drafts, not the end-version). As for the poem itself, I love it. To me it expresses a longing for someone in who will be like this person. Lotharingia "For God's sake, he's a poet. Poets are meant to feel miserable. Otherwise, what the hell are they here for? What are they going to write about?" Tom Holland |

I do believe that dreams have a message or deeper meaning. I used have a reoccuring dream about falling to my death. I hope you find out who this person is. Really enjoyed your poem. ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. manic street preachers "Culture Alienation Borebom and Despair" "I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing" -faster MSP "And you see, I kind of shiver to conformity Did you see, the way I cower to authority, you see And my life, it's a series of compromises anyway It's a sham, and I'm conditioned to accept it all, you see" six by Paul Draper. ----- |

Weird? You should try living with a dream friend while awake. *grin* Your poem summed up dream philosophy very nicely. Well done. |
