Dreams And Reality Poem by jen capaldi

Dreams And Reality

Rating: 3.4


In the darkest hours of night
I can see a brilliant shining light
It eminates from the thoughts of you
Because you are so loyal and true
But as the dawn nears
My mind again clears
And my reality comes back to me
That you and I can never be
We can never be lovers
Cuddling in bed under the covers
You can never be a friend
Because this is where all my dreams end
Tears are already in my eyes as I wake
Because from me all good things fate will take
Never have a lover that fate won't steal
Never a friend that will truely be real
Everytime I think I find one it ends up in strife
Because no one can be a part of my life

It expresses poet's pain in a very subtle manner. But, why dear, WHY? ? ? Hope sustains life. I dont think anyone should feel so low n desperate. Cheer up, friend, have FAITH in God n Yourself.

Jen, life is a series of test, sifting you to you finest when you learn from all your experiences. I'm not different form you, I have similar experiences. You well express and write what is inside. This is very important.

Never have a lover that fate won't steal Never a friend that will truely be real Everytime I think I find one it ends up in strife Because no one can be a part of my life.....never mind about dream and neaver about reality... it is HEwho decides the fate and not we. only optimism and positive thinking can yield best results and who know what is in store for us as we are all loved children of HIM and he may take care of everything..Leave that part to him...... it is so beautifully worded poem and i liked its every word....well dome..and i look forward more from you....10 read mine......love at first sight...mary to marry...miss i miss you.... o, lord/...prayer
