Only Dreaming
years later
long after
you died
I dreamed
of you
in the dream
you were sixteen
and altogether
beautiful
death had yet
to touch
your brow
your life force
shone out
strong
and proud
and I woke up
wondering
if I was only dreaming
or was it really you
.
Lovely!

oh so that was him.... you have portrayed him quite real in there... lost moments that still brings us a joy mixed with sadness.
DeleteOh how very sad! I believe all poems contain truths,dreams, philosophical thoughts , suffering, joys ...nothing is really false...
ReplyDeleteI try to write only about my own experiences - things that are real to me. I have no time for angels, faeries and 'love' as an abstract - give me flesh and blood any day
DeleteBeautiful and yet sad
ReplyDeleteThank you Joeleyne
