Dream Voice Sonnet Poem by Barry Middleton

Dream Voice Sonnet

Rating: 5.0


As silent midnight brings a ghost,
a shadowed echo of the past
will speak enchanting foolish words
of how our love has never died.

And yet I reach into the dark
to find the heart of emptiness
that time has failed to rightly hide.

But I would sooner have this ghost
than face a night of mute despair.

The hush pretends that love survives
within the chasm of the shade
where fictive haunting dreams are made.

And though the spirit voice deceives,
I will await its whispered lie.

Dreams and love are often deceptive but still we wait for them all life. And we'd rather cherish illusions n believe in lies than having to face a lonely life of despair. Simply superb write.
