Dream by Veritanuda
After being inspired by Priscilla's Poem, @yidneth, about her waking dream I was reminded of a poem I wrote a few years ago. Maybe not as evocative and certainly not so polished.
But I promised I would share it and so here it is. I asked an artist friend of mine to help put the words to images and personally I love what she has done.
I hope you do too.
Sleep washes over like a tide of fate
Waves of fatigue do hold me down
My thoughts do slip, the hour is late
My face does relax, gone is my frown.
I am carried off on night's moonbeam
Carried to places so far from thought
Where even brave men dare to dream
Those better than I, hearts are caught
Taken to places beyond conscious thought
Confused by places and what they might mean
With things downside up and not as they ought
With anything possible in this world of dream
But through it all, one hope does stay true
One thought it does cling despite all my sins
That beneath the strangeness the truth is you
That you make me dream, make me see all things
You make me want to be asleep in your arms
Make me want to be helpless and weak
Capture me with your grace and your charms
Inspire my passions whenever you speak.
Each night we talk only a little, it's true
But a little is enough even for us
For you to know me and me to know you
To build up a bed of mutual trust.
Dare I to hope you might hold me the same
Perhaps yet maybe it could still be true
That you smile as you sleep on hearing my name
That you dare to dream dreams of me too
Sleep well my dream and take it from me
You do more to my heart than give it some rest
You are my nights muse, as anyone can see
As inspiration goes you are some of the best.

Thank you for the mention and I'm glad it inspired to write your own poetry.Blessings!
Not inspired. Reminded. I wrote it about 10 years ago maybe more. I am just shy in sharing my work as they tend to be personally inspired and so are often directed at someone rather than something. But still the muse does with me what she will and I cannot control what comes or how good it will be.
But you encouraged me to come out and share, something I never really have done very much online. I like Steemit because it has a chance to remain for as long as the blockchain is shared and if it comes to it I can save the blockchain for myself and pass that along as a legacy.
Ether way, thank you for the nudge and thank your for your appreciation. I am not looking for adulation only admiration.
hugs
I can tell that you have been writing a long time you have a gift for words, congratulations, even if you don't seek admiration it is indeed my pleasure to tell you so, I'm foreign so what I meant is that I'm glad it inspired actually to do the post :) and grateful of the mention. You should share more of them as you are very gifted in it. It's not really because we need approval as an artist and strange as it is I create for myself as a way to heal my spirit :) All the best
Yes since I was 12 I have been writing poems and that was a long time ago now. For sure you do not have to thank me for the mention it is my pleasure and privilege to know you and your work. Really it is I who feels lucky.
I have thought of posting more just like any blog posts they need to be visually appealing as well as good reading. It is why I am shy to present things. I am just graphically a novice. I have a few artist friends but always feel guilty taking up their time with my silly poetry. We shall see.
You have a good day too and hope we can engage in more musings anon.
hugs
Our spirits always find ways to express themselves... I used to write when younger and in many ways I still consider my own songs poetry. About the imagery, there are many sites like pixabay that allows you to surf and they list hundreds of pictures with a ccoo license, you can use this pictures to start or even merge then into your own creations. Have a good day as well! :)
