Acquiescent Dreams



the night caresses
her with gentle breezes
as she sways through time
in her dance of dreams

a soft whisper
a silken secret
a scented sigh
hang in middle air…

she breathes deeply of this
sensuous atmosphere
knowing that Life’s
most precious moments
are laden with intent

unspoken promises
unwritten poems
forgotten
forsaken

inhaling inspiration
exhaling adoration
the fires of Love
burn in her veins

she awakens reborn
within the depths of reverie

knowing all too soon
the sun will rise
and her visions
will acquiesce
to dawn



Author notes

my Soul is is an acquiescent dream of my being.

    Sweet! I'm liking the ideas here, especially the title.
    Wouldn't you say that all dreams are acquiescent?

    Your poem also hits on 'the actions we've never taken,' though it would be amazing if we could go back in time and alter our memories.

    Love it, thanks for entering and good luck!

    Wonderful!

    The imagery in this piece is intense, sensuous, and vivid I could could readily see, hear, and smell the scene of perfumed night air and light breezes. An absolutely stunning poem that captures the essence of soul perfectly.

    My first impression is of elusive night visions that disappear with the dawning of light. Dark can be very comforting. A good poem. Thanks

    This is really great work. The writing has a very gentle flow to it. It almost put me in a dreamlike state while reading it. Very well written.

    Overall, a good read. You could tweak this more, e.g. take out some words. Examples
    S3L1 'deeply she breathes'
    S3L3 'knowing life's'

    Compliments though, I enjoyed reading this and your words brought me along

    Poetess as far I know

    from all the poems I have ever read

     

    I could not imagine anyone able to describe their soul as you are able

     

    it comes through brilliantly in all of your writes

     

    it comes from so deep and always with such passion

     

     

    as far as I am concerned

    not quite a concept

     

    this is soul

     

    God bless you my friend...
