I think I'll love again.
Through dream-laden mist,
One true beam of light
Shines clear,
Sweet reminder of nights spent
Floating soft on love's sea...
Oh, yes. I will love again.
If I have to leap into
Night's abyss,
Through daze and fog
Mystified,
Seduce the Dreamkeeper with a kiss,
And sneak you by the hand
Into my waking life.
I just might
Twist the vapors of fantasy
Into substance adored,
A cherished bit of reality
For my delight.
I think I'll banish fear
And love again.

Wonderful!
These images that you create made my heart skip a beat literally! This part:
If I have to leap into
Night's abyss,
Through daze and fog
Mystified,
Seduce the Dreamkeeper with a kiss,
And sneak you by the hand
Into my waking life.
I can actually see myself in this fog, I mean this just paints an excellent picture! Very nice...Thanks for entering and good luck!

oohhh, If you can pull him through teach me how. But seriously, this is wonderful. I love that you throw yourself on a page! I feel like we have such similar thoughts but, I am jealous of how you make yours beautiful and a pleasure to read! Keep it up!

You have penned a lovely poem. Yes we can all love again in our dreams. They can take us to find love anywhere. Great write. A pleasure to read. Take care, Sandy

This loveley! It's got a wonderful flow, i don't how you do it! My eyes just wash over the lines, i love reading your poetry, it's so effortless.
The imagery is so beautiful. "dream laden mist" is a really magical description (you might have guessed i'd like that though!), and "floating soft on love's sea", and again "Seduce the Dreamkeep with a kiss", (perhaps he's the one who keeps stealing your purse?!)
So is this the potential of our real dreams coming true?
Only one thing i'd say is it might be quite nice to end with some kind of rhyme, either alternate or couplet? I know that might be difficult and still keep the repetion of "love again", which is lovely. But just a suggestion. Ohh and well done you managed to write mainly in blank verse and yet maintain your wonderful flow.
It's magical though, and that's all i probably should have said!
