Only In My Dreams


When darkness comes
and it's time to sleep.
I close my eyes
and see you in my dreams.

I wrap my arms around you
Pull you close to me
You and I forever
In the world of dreams

I kiss your lips
Hold you tenderly
Never have to let you go
Because this is just a dream

I awake with a smile
My heart skips a beat
Because I got to hold you
If only in my dreams.

This is very tender, Swampy....I like the way the last lines remind us, as they seem to remind you, that it's not real but still important when u are sleeping.

I can empathize with this piece, I've written about a very similar thing, except I pray that the person not disappear when I wake up...you seem content with seeing them in a dream. I love the romantic tone, you managed to make the poem itself 'dreamy'. And what I mean by that is it awakens a sort of warm longing in my heart when i read the piece. Well done friend!

Eric, thank you for your kind words. Sometimes dreams are all we have so we must hold onto them and be content to have anything at all.
