A Dream That Can Never Be True. Have a look at what that is!!

A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM

You’re a dream for me-

A dream within a dream

A surreal dream;

An unreal dream;

Far from reality;

Away from sensibility,

Like winter’s dream to meet summer;

Bicycle’s dream to carry a huge hummer;

Iceberg’s dream to kiss the sun;

And Penguin’s to enjoy hot desert run.

~~~~~

You’re a dream for me-

A dream within a dream;

A vivid dream;

An unrealizable dream;

A dream that can never be true.

A dream to spend a Valentine Day with you,

A dream to have a candlelight date;

A dream to be your soul mate.

~~~~~

But oh, how fool am I to forget ?

You’re just a dream for me-

A dream within a dream

And nothing more than that.

Hey...have you posted that poem here or not. If not then you should do it immediately. Booksie is the best forum to exploit your writing talents here. Some of my posted here were actually composed by me long time back.

Thanks as always for taking time out for reading & commenting. :)

I like the thought that is nestled behind your words here. You bring the idea to life. Reaching for a mirage and having it aways just outside your grasp. Your desire just outside your grasp.

You capture this thought beautifully and poetically!

I much enjoyed this!

Thanks, Alice

Again you hit the bulls eye. You got me perfectly.

Now I'm beginning to think whether you're a mind reader or what!! I'll have to be careful before pouring my hidden feeling otherwise you may spill the beans...hah.

Thanks a lot as always for being regular follower of my work. People like you give strength to move on in the world of creativity or world will take you as mad.

A really amazing poem, I love the longing and hope you have but still you show how reality is the only thing that lives on.

So true...One has to wake up no matter how sweet or wonderful the dream is. One has to accept the reality and can't cling on to unrealizable dream forever.

Thanks a lot for the read and comment.

This poem had me reaching out for that song by THE EVERLY BROTHERS"DREAM".

Nicely penned poem which was effortless to read as it's main focus was on the afforementioned word DREAM.

To meet forbidden love or a person of our dreams is just the most wonderful thing one can imagine.

I once wanted to meet a young lady who lived in Eastern Germany in Berlin but i never realised my dream.

If you listen to ELTON JOHN'S song "NIKITA" you will know where i am coming from in terms of that song and the sentiments it provides.

Finally whether i change my photo or have been absent from this site for any amount of time has really got nothing to do with my fans or anyone else.

I have been gravely ill for the past 3 weeks having come from Switzerland with a severe fever.

It's a miracle i'm even writing you this critique so please think before you write in future.

What a beautiful poem. It was very well written and the words flowed seamlessly together. The ending made me a little sad because I know this feeling of not being able to reach that dream.
Overall, great poem. Thanks for the wonderful read...MPB
