LET SLEEP WIN ... Come with me to a place I know; Where no person dare rudely intervene. By all means, intervene, but not rudely; Please, excuse yourself before crashing my dreams. Where white is almost black and blacker almost blackest; Color is without form 'til gathered in bouquets. Flowers of my dreams to harvest in any season; Stand away so far, yet their brilliance smacks of scent. Where high is almost low and lower almost lowest; Space is without gravity 'til amassed in orderly spheres. Stars of my dreams to drop in my pockets like trinkets; Look closer still, yet their shine wears nevermore. Where long is almost short and shorter almost shortest; Distance is without measure 'til the tape we break. Races of my dreams to run and be forever's winner; Speed away so fast, yet their start returns my vigor. Where deserts are almost wet and wetter almost wettest; Rain is without a drop 'til heavy cloud does weep its tears. Rivers of my dreams to swim, as though flying fish awing; Sail on ocean's spray, yet their waves become as one. Where hard is almost soft and softer almost softest; Silk is without allure 'til sewn by passion's hands. Fantasies of my dreams to fulfill ecstasy's prospects; Fabric so real, yet their weave be of love's promise. By all means, intervene, but not rudely; Please, excuse yourself before crashing my dreams. But to my wake, send not dream's invitation; For my sake, let sleep win this confrontation.

MA Miller, With poems such as these, why stop, why not pour it all out.... This is great work, each poem I read, I am more impressed... Excellent imagery, and nice flowing style of writing... regards, sudhir Death, be not proud, though some have called thee, Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; - John Donne |

Come with me to a place I know; Where no person dare rudely intervene. By all means, intervene, but not rudely; Please, excuse yourself before crashing my dreams. Such a great start you are off to. Love the way this one starts out. |

LOL (shoot wad)    LOLahhem..now to the poem (you shouldnt distract a girl like that) LOL "Where deserts are almost wet and wetter almost wettest; Rain is without a drop 'til heavy cloud does weep its tears. Rivers of my dreams to swim, as though flying fish awing; Sail on ocean's spray, yet their waves become as one. Where hard is almost soft and softer almost softest; Silk is without allure 'til sewn by passion's hands.

But to my wake, send not dream's invitation; For my sake, let sleep win this confrontation." wow this is a very cool poem very unique...creative... so much expression and depth very well written and thought thru... this poem gives me serious poet envy ...
