Hidden Daydreams

The dawning brings gray clouds again
the spiritless still sleeps.
I come to join the living
and in words of soft, I keep
this head held higher, as the day
begins to stretch it's arms.
And dream my thoughts and wantings of
those eyes that hold my charms...

Were you a daydream hidden
in my nighttime shrouded mind,
to overwhelm and hold me close
in arms of love to find?
Or are you just my fantasy
I keep on falling for
In and out, to strain this heart
It's haunting, to allure?

A mystery, I keep within
these little sparks to flame
"if only's" could become the now
and "pastings" lost their blame
And every feeling hid deep down
would spring their gift on you
The moments of the "next times"
would be sharing loving, new.

**and I  coined the word pastings..as in past  not paste...poetic license you know..*w

I can say one thing for sure Maureen, that is beautiful poet talk. You're just a hopeless romantic poet and that lingo flows out of you like a fountain......and you do it so well on top of all that......write on!!

Wonderful job, MM, I especially enjoy


Were you a daydream hidden
in my nighttime shrouded mind,
to overwhelm and hold me close
in arms of love to find?


...a hint of retrospect, a hope for the future. Very nicely said, even in a query...  *S

Hi Maureen,
I believe that this is the poem that you were working on this morning? If so, well done, as you always do. I couldn't wait to read it, and the wait was certainly worth it.

Bill....

E... I posted this a little too quickly using it as an example  showing a new poet how the forum works..and will need to do a bit of editing... I hate to rhyme with 2 words the same at the end there..thank you for  making me notice it....and yes a hopeless romantic...isn't that awful...just what this world needs another of...

I'm deeply flattered to have inspired you.  I've been called many things, most of which are too salty to repeat on this forum, far from being someone's inspiration.  I'm glad that I can help, and offer my ear any time in the future.  

As for the poem itself, it was deeply felt and appreciated.  Your work indeed shines as the angel who wrote it.
