But a Dream

Dancing foolishly about a velvet floor
which has not but a seem.
There, alone, with that heart of gold
that in a dream you've seen.

Nimble swaying side to side, to and fro...
moves you dare not try.
You've dazzled her and brought the stars
in that dream last night.

Inhibitions lost in nocturnal bliss
and replaced with bravery.
Valiant love and noble acts of flight
are but a dream for me.

But to awake and live as a noble knight
is fortune I may do.
To rise above a bitter heart tonight
would thus be dreams made true.

Jeremy,
Read this one yesterday. Can't say much about it that I didn't already. Once again you've done a great job.

very good JEremy.  good luck with your future poems and I'll be in town on thursday so im stopping by and waking you up.

heres a poem like that, i wrote it a while back:
dreamer

slowly you drift into harmony,
living in thoughts,fantasys, wonders.
though not real much better than life,
there are no mistakes, sadness, or blunders.

love runs wild, emotions flow free.
dreams are exciting and new worlds of being,
drift to your fantasy and follow you mind,
just momentarily fall into what your seeing.
                 -JR

"two roads diverged in a wood and I...
I took the one less traveled by...
...And that has made all of the difference."
--Robert Frost
