In My Dreams

Each tear is a memory
that gently sings a silent lullaby.
These soulful songs do not escape me.
Sadness is part of life's nightly charade.

Voices speak in lonely whispers.
Reaching, calling to the heart...
Compassion within wishes
to cradle and console.

The past conceals my pain.
It calls in quiet abandonment.
Wasted in confusion and direction,
I've only stagnant air for my efforts.

Awakening to the onslaught of desperation
and feeling quite inadequate...
Drawn covers will be my comfort for now.
Will it end tomorrow ?

Paul,
Though this appears to be a sad write, I think you capture what it's like to be human in this piece. We are a combination of memories, upbringing, morals, present circumstances, emotions, compassion, regrets, experiences...the list goes on. It seems like bedtime often brings thoughts of the past and daily events. Regrets and memories seem to rule sleep hours. I love the last line of this poem because it challenges that saying about how everything seems better after a good night of sleep. Does it? I don't think so. I think it only postpones troubles and lowers the level of a person's passionate response - sometimes for the best. The strength of emotion in this piece draws compassion from the reader - the mark of a Great Writer! Love and Hugs~

Paul,
In your poem "In My Dream" you've penned a most powerful message of
hopelessness and despair. Like many other reviewers listed below, I feel touched, wanting to reach out and give you hope.

Just yesterday I left a review on the den site of Tinka Boukes and her poem "Suicide." I invite you to visit her site and read my comments. If your poem is pure fiction, you're brilliant. If only part is true, then perhaps my words in review of her poem will help.

Some time back I visited and said I would return and treat myself to
enjoying your work. Well, here I am. I may be here for awhile, so when the rockets go off on the 4th of July, give me a nudge, will you?

With respect and admiration,
Richard

Wow, such an emotional write of sadness and memories of the past. Don't know if it is fiction or not, if not press on look to tomorrow life is too short. If it is fiction my friend you've really captured the emotion of sorrow. Enjoyed this powerful write!

We are all challenged in like situations only to know there will be a tomorrow and yesterday will just be our future's past. If we live in the past and not look for the dawn of a new tomorrow, then our past will be our future. Thanks,
