I dream't the dream of what if yet again and wept it seemed forever without end, Recurring woe in stark vicinity occuring slow in dark infinity. The only glow on me, it's source unknown, lonely shadow seems a force I'm shown to certify the fact that I'm alone, and clarify exactly that Love's flown. I'm paralyzed, I'm muted, I'm undressed. I've analyzed, I've brooded and I've guessed. So agonized, deluded and depressed, soliloquized, concluded that it's best. I've slept the sleep of unknown, unnamed stars. I've kept in deep sine` qua non memoirs. The lesson learned in nightmares I attend, la noir nocturne plays solo dare depend. I dream the dreams of what if nevermore, seems self esteem's la motif evermore. "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve" |

Creative and clever turn of phrase. had a Poe like quality to it as well. well done poet sir, once again. jm only you could give love that satisfies the soul... |

Rich and dense both in form and content. Enjoyed. -MVS "When you tell the Truth, you never have to remember what you just said." |

Such power was felt with your words and such sadness and emptiness. I hope love finds you again very soon. Take care......Sue Suetang |

I feel you need some rest my friend. Nightmare indeed. I'm sorry sleep has evoked this upon you. Hug your pillow dear Sir! And watch an old movie and crawl up with Oreo cookies and milk. I hope you will find your heart and sleep soundly once again. Thank you for a moving piece! Sincerely, Rwood |

Richard, this was an excellent piece of work. The rhyme was dead on, and of course you "walking dictionary" did it again with your wonderful vocabulary. In other words, I loved it, and hope true loves comes to warm your soul soon (hugs)  ~ Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance ~And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance ~ I hope you dance.
