Dreamcatcher

I dreamed about you yesterday,

I dreamed about the moments we shared

Trying to let what you said

Not affect me,

Because I dreamed of us

And what we could have been,

But that's only my dream

To be with you,

A dream that goes through the center

Your dreams about us

Are only lies

That get caught in

The web

I hope this nightmare

Of wanting you,

And needing you

Perish before I wake up

Because I'd like a happy dream

To take me out of my misery

Of ever wanting to be with you

Perish not parish my friend. Apart from my pickiness I loved the title and the poem, I have dream catches in all my bedrooms and love how you used them to pen this piece as your dreams of love pass through and the nightmare of his get caught and ensnared punished if you like for being lies. You always seem to find the words to express the ache untruths can bring. Keep em' coming

This is the most beautiful and true poem I have ever read of yours.... You write with true for all loves who are so captivating in the begining end up just being in the tangles of the dream catcher

Beautiful. Great write!

A really beautifully written poem. The only criticism I have is with the lines from 'I hope this nightmare' to 'Perish before I wake up'. If you want to be truly accurate in your language use you will need to change 'perish' to 'perishes' or change 'this nightmare' to 'these nightmares'. Otherwise I really enjoyed this one!

It's beautiful, whatever way you look at it. A great poem about something a lot of people can relate to.

It seems like everyone who has been sending me read requests have been channeling the exact part of me that I need to let out. Through all of this love and emotion I am going through with someone. And you just added to the cycle :) So of course, I adore this! The honesty behind it felt so real. The emotions in it were powerful, and I could tell this was no artificial writing. It came straight from the writer's heart who had a nice play with emotions and words. Excellent write for sure!

Those dreams that turn out to all be hopes and shattered dreams are never fun.. great piece.

You've garnered a fair amount of views AND reviews... so how do YOU feel on this one? Flaws happen, flows stumble... but its the author that determines worth and validity.

Take care,
Chris

To me it seems as though you are expressing the frustration of yourself as a romantic trying to love a realist. Those that see only the practical nature of the world will never understand what it is that carries a writer along each day
