Girl in my dream

Amon Olisi

Sweet you, who only belongs to my dream,
But in reality not yet seen
In your dainty hands you hold roses
You offer me in my dream these roses
While you hold a berry on your smiling lips
Light radiates from your skin,
And my breath I lose in my dream,
Oh! You shall be mine
Hope in this world you exist
Wherever you are,
You are mine, mine and mine
In my dream my embrace you decline,
But by my hand you take me,
As we sail to greet the sun at dawn
Hand in hand we float in the air
The fine fresh breeze caressing our skins,
Tickling us as we childshily laugh.
You look into my eyes
I can't stand your eyes
They are terrific, immaculately terrific
Words can't describe you
I have tried, but I have failed.

    What a beautiful and evocative poem! Your use of imagery is truly breathtaking, and I was transported into the dream world you created with ease. I particularly loved the way you described the light radiating from the skin of your dream love, it really added a magical quality. Your words paint a picture of a perfect love, one that we all hope to find in our lives.

    If I may offer a suggestion, perhaps you could expand on the internal conflict you describe towards the end of the poem. The idea of your dream love declining your embrace is intriguing, and I would love to know more about the emotions you experienced in that moment. Additionally, maybe you could explore the idea of longing for this love in reality a little more - that would add an even stronger emotional resonance to the poem.

    Overall, this was a wonderful piece of writing that left me feeling uplifted and inspired. Thank you for sharing your work with us!
