  The Dream seller
( a street vendors cry)

  Come Buy! Come Buy!
  Listen for my bell.
  Listen to what I sell.
  Come Buy ! Come  Buy!

  I have dreams of tender lovers,
  Or of a Maid surpassing fair.
  Of golden nights when you discover ,
  The answer to your silent prayer.

   Let me weave my magic for you.
   Bring love and joy to you this night.
   Before the coming of mornings dew ,
   Loving transports of pure delight.

   Come Buy! Come Buy !
   Answer to my bell.
   Go to your bed and lie,
   Pay me well! Pay me well!

arthur - I enjoyed this read and could almost see the seller calling out. Chris

Arthur, great imagery here! This is one of if not your best. I agree with Richard, it does remind much of something from Oliver Twist! Well done poet sir!
