Analysis of Dreamer



Dreamer
Tear drops fall on the red rose in the early spring.
Sweet smells fill the air while sparrows sing.
My heart flowers with the Magnolia tree.
For all the love I have, I keep for thee.

Her words to me were very clear,
For her quote, I do hear.

“That is what I love about you.
You are a dreamer too.
Without dreams where would we be?
Hurry my love and be with me.”

Within her words my heart does fly,
For a love that never says, good-bye.
Fill my world with your dreams of night.
To be with me forever as we hold each other tight.

Norman Wilson

IntroductionForgotten are the times the tick of a clock once chimed sobering sounds that caressed my hearts nightly dreams. As I awaken to the touch of light that burns upon a candles wick flickering my words for all to see. This drives my thoughts through the darkest of nights of loneliness that renders my quill upon parchment with ink that dances to minds and souls.Now I hear the screeching of my heart when the blue horizon covers the orb of emptiness.Within the shelter of my mind with little, purpose other than my words that keep me sane. These are my new poems I have written in the quiet of my night, forever wished away in a writer’s pain. As I strive to write that perfect poem that, my soul desperately seeks. Then and only then can my words rest upon a sleep. more…
