Forever Dreaming

Forever Dreaming

Woke in the moonlight
Whispering clear
Secrets that no one
Was ever to hear

Looked around madly
Anyone there?
Silence means safety
From Waking World's glare

Dreams conjure quickly
Need not make sense
Waking World never
Can be so immense

I want to stay dreaming
Which spell can you cast
I want to stay dreaming
No future, no past
Say that you'll help me
I don't care how
Forever Dreaming
The here and the now

Sprinkled with stardust
Weaving through space
Try all you want still
You won't see my face

This scene is perfect
Dreams you can fly
Take on your worst fears
And know you can't die

Closest to magic
New are my dreams
They are my solace
From Waking World's screams

I want to stay dreaming
Which spell can you cast
I want to stay dreaming
No future, no past
Say that you'll help me
I don't care how
Forever Dreaming
The here and the now 

Forever Dreaming
Within is my vow...

    this is prolly the best one i read all night. seriosly. your description was great. i once had a dream i was killed, i was stabbed in the stomach and i actually felt death creaping in. i grew numb, but then it all faded and everything was great. there was a girl with me now, and we danced amongst the night sky. the wind gentle, cool, and crisp. we laughed as we played above the land and below the stars. ur write well.

    Excellent

    Beautiful imagery in this poem. Immediately sweeps the reader up in a world we are all familiar with. The things we can do when we dream... sometimes it's not as impossible as it feels. Anyway, before I start to ramble I'll cut myself off. Stunning work, keep exploring!

    Awsome

    A powerful poem. I loved it. I think everyone needs to dream; in sleep or every min. of everyday. I think it's a beautiful. I hope you find you dreams someday. Not everyone is lucky enough to find them.

    very well written

    You have described how good it feels to escape the reality of this world. It would be nice if we could feel free and so good as we do in our dreams. I use to love to dream that I could fly. It felt so great. We all need an escape from the stresses of this world, and your poem was just perfect.

    Nicely done

    Wow. Really powerful words. It reminded me vaguely of a sort of villanelle-list poem hybrid or something. I really like the rhyme and rhythm, as well as the images. Realistic subject, and one that pretty much everyone can relate to (I know I can!!). The only thing I would change is I would put more punctuation--make most of the lines end-stopped, and inclued a few caesuras--so that the poem can be read slower.

    Oh I wish I had another applause to give! I will bookmark this and give it tomorrow. I absolutely adored this poem. I think everyone at some point in their life wishes they could just dream and not wake up in reality. This was beautifully written, very very well done!

    Well it is a true description of the heart who is lost in the magic of this great world too. The thoughts are very heartfelt and creating the effect of the gimmick of the reality of this world through and through. The beauty of the write lies in its travel of the notions and the definations about the beahavioural patterns of this dry world. The flow of the write is very impressive and just to the point too. I really appreciate this work.prabhudayal khattar
