I Dream of You by Endeavor at All poetry

so often
i have seen your face
more than i can count
in my dreams

the image
is always the same
you... reclining for me
touching me

so tenderly

the face
of an angel I see
with dark adoring eyes
wishing... for something

sadly
if i touch you
you fade away... completely
and everything

is lost to me

so i dream
looking and loving
yet never having completely
all I seek

I can only... dream

Very good
It's a sweet fantasy fading away by touch of reality. Who knows love is how much fantasy and how much fact - it is something from the land of dreams. Nicely written I liked it very much.

    My friend Endeavor, There are good poets, there are bad poets - there are great poets as well as not-so-great poets on this site but you are a very simple poet and the appeal of your simple poetry is direct to the heart.

There is such a sadness in the words you have so tenderly shared with us, yet i can understand the raw emotions behide them. Dreams is all i have or can give in my life ..so like you i dream hoping one day realness will be there.
Sir, i do believe you are a fly on my wall in the peaceful moments that dreams come.

sadly
if i touch you
you fade away... completely
and everything

is lost to me

so i dream
looking and loving
yet never having completely
all I seek

I can only... dream

Beautiful!!!

Well, my loving friend,
My input on this piece is that it is a bit sad, full of emotion, yet it is mighty beautiful.
Longing for a dream to become reality
I don't think any of us stop seeking for even a more in depth love, even when we have the best love.
You told me in the past about many of your dreams.
I have and still will pray for them to become real for you. I have notice that many of your poems are about dream.
I think you need to wake up and enjoy, your love.
I wish you nothing but happiness and the love of your life.

Loveandblessings2u & yours always
Love Ya,
Joyce

This is an excellent write, you really should get the gold. Good luck, my friend.

Hi Rick,

I'm sorry I'm so far behind on your poetry while I've been judging contests. But whenever my "real" life or AP life becomes too crazy, I always know where to come for soft, calming, and beautiful words of love...

I often wonder if the dream isn't better than reality at times...but then I think back to the moments I've shared with a special person, and I know the reality is preferable. Your words are, as always, a deep look into your soul and part of what (I believe) makes you tick. Always aware of the dream, and searching for it, and keeping the hope alive.

Good luck in the contest, this is lovely.

Love and s

beautiful words of sorrow Rick. You have a way with such. You remind me of me writing sad comedys. It is a rare thing for a writer and it is not easy. Good luck in the contest.
