I Had A Dream – Poem

is about beautiful dreams that give hope for a better new day

In my dream

I received a gift

An antique silver

Necklace from the man

Living next neighborhood

Who I met last year

At the end of June

When I danced at retro

Music I love

We went on a date

He held onto my hand

While saying “We’ll see us again,”

Which never happened

Since that day, I thought

He was my soulmate companion

But the reality checking

And many ignored calls

Showed me the meaning

Of meeting men at the bar

*****

The chemistry was boiling

We danced as we know

Each other from the century

Of “The temple of the king” vow

Which is my favorite

Song whenever I go

Away in the distance

From numerous loves

That made me an illusionist

Who plays her unique show

Without the complimentary crowd

To watch my authentic tricks

Like a neverending let go

Of Someone I treasured

While I am his scarecrow

******

In terms of my sarcastic

Self-laughing soul

I cried a deep river

Then went with the flow

I go back to dreaming

With the ability to grow

While I am dying

Digging in ashes

That miraculous rose me above

Like the Legendary Phoenix

Engraved on a silver coin

I recently, out of curiosity, bought

And it is a beauty

Like my vision while sleep

I had a dream

That gave me a hope

To keep moving

Because my heart will go on

Beyond new horizons

Last night I had a beautiful dream. A man I used to date sent me a gift – silver jewelry and a handwritten letter. From a young age, I am hopeless romantic and preferred paper letters and hand-made gifts. They give me part of the emotions the maker had when creating them. Today I am the same but try to control that weak side of mine because people do not understand romance the same way as before. Retro courtship and dates are something that I long for today but I know it’s challenging to have them. Even so, my hope never goes away thanks to the beautiful dreams I have while sleeping.
