Irony Of Dreams Poem by Barry Van Allen

Irony Of Dreams

Rating: 5.0


It doesn't come here in the Springtime,
'nor does it come here in the Fall,
love usually shows up,
when you expect it least of all.

I didn't say that it makes sense,
I'm just reporting what I've seen,
the more you chase, the less you catch,
that is the irony of dreams.

Irony... yes... but with age comes the part where we just wait for it to arrive. Chasing can be frutual. Well thought Barry!

Barry - Attraction appears to be made of one part self confidence and three parts patience. I long ago stopped worrying about perfection, our humanity apparently also adds to our charm. Hugs and kisses - Cheryl

Ain't that the truth? ! Best to just settle quietly on the sofa with a good book...and wait to see if it will come to curl up beside you...: -) Hugs, dee
