I have dreamt of you
Many a night
Never truly believing
You were out there
But here you are
You really do exist
Beyond the realm of dreams
And I have found you
The very thought of you
Sends my soul reeling
My knees go weak
I have to catch my breath
I smile to myself
When you cross my mind
Knowing that soon
I will be in your arms
How lucky am I
To have caught your attention
And I will treasure that
Always…

I read poetry such as this and envy perhaps most, how sure you are of your feelings. No confusion in your thoughts, just the outpouring of your desire for this person!
Very lovely piece...I greatly enjoyed.

Oh, this is lovely... it always makes me happy to read a happy love poem where you find your prince charming and ride off into the sunset :-)
Beautifully, heartfelt poem. I like that about your work, its always straight from the heart.
Nicely done,

Emotional and textured with a beautiful background and coloring scheme. I rode along on this poetic ride with full joy at the wheel. I think this piece gives the reader an amazing story with which to build something of their own their mind from it and that is a great thing in poetry, when someone can take something and compare and contrast to their own life. Your images are also fantastic. You struck me with your talent and I will be sure to come back and read more.
much love,
James

This is another in a fine series of perfectly
blended and richly moving worx by one of America's
premier poets!
here is my real reply:
I dreamnt of you also
when hearts comingled rythms
swept pure thru the night
while lovers screamed pleasure
to crisp soul's delight
when castles of promise
brought cries of sweet passion
twix spasm and coitus
too fragile, ignight
then wet stinging replays
course gentle past pounding
like hammers so lightly
down 'cross your reason
to throbbing cold thunders
deep in your purpose
you move me like visions
to levels beyond
I can't find my center
to think that'd you've gone
I must find a method to
connect in your mind
I dreamnt that was you
to best read your poems
I see from the ideas
you speak of your world
so close there inside you
not just in your mind
on another view
I'd see you as light
clear and pure to blind
the depths of my dreams
to carry a single
wish of delight...

A wonderfully sweet, insightful read, I liked the idea that they were the poets vision of a dream come true (something we all aspire to). Thank you so very much for taking the time to read my haiku!
-
A very good poem. Simplistic but it conveys the feelings nicely within the words. Sometimes, less is definitely more. Well done.
-
I agree with what Scott Adelmann said in his comment.
I like poems about dreams. I think we've all had dreams of that love, even from childhood. I still remember mine. It seems that most people never find the love from their dreams, but those who do are very lucky. Best of wishes for you!
-
Scott, Thank you for your comment, I do so appreciate it. I also made that correction. Thank you for pointing it out to me.
Anna -
Very nice, straightforward piece - I like that. Sometimes when we try to put all kinds of costumes on our feelings - deressing them up with adjectives and adverbs - we lose the power of the feelings. In line 12 - should be "breath". Nice work, Anna.

well, hope it lasts. i've had three women in my life who fit this bill. one relationship i screwed up (see "Dancelight", it was written for her), the second one just wasn't meant to be, and the third one is still happening.
one day at a time. don't have much comment on form or content because it's a pretty straightforward exposition of thought and feeling. no tropes are used to make the reading sink into the mind, so there's no way to comment on things like metephor, etc.
