Just close your eyes and dream yourself away;
To where your life was surely meant to be,
To lands where all you ever want is free
And all there is to do is laugh and play.
I've closed my eyes and dreamt that you're with me
And happiness and love are everywhere.
The greatest sights on Earth are there to see
And you are there with me so we can share.
When eyes are closed there's beauty all around
And everyday you're visiting the fair.
There's nothing in your life that needs your care
And all that's wrong on Earth cannot be found.
The truths of life can be a cruel surprise,
There comes a time you cannot close your eyes.

A beautiful sonnet, but can we lose the couplet...please.
If only life were that simple, Utopia found and lost all within 14 well expressed lines.
All the best in the contest...Sue

I love the content of your poem..to close our eyes and have a beautiful dream when all is right with the world. It is hard to close our eyes to reality which can be so ugly we cant look away. Interesting rhyme scheme, I love sonnets and yours are always top notch.

Yes.
There definitely comes a time when most people can no longer close their eyes and ignore what's happening around them.
Thanks for entering.
