My Haunting Dreams Poem by Lesa MRK

My Haunting Dreams

Rating: 4.5


The night is serene as I lie in your arms;
My thoughts peaceful and full of bliss,
Until a vision of white penetrates the mind,
Then I am forced to recall unhappiness.

I try to close my soul to the memory of,
That threatening dark shadow which lingers above,
Reminding me of a forgotten past,
During which I stained my hands with empty love.

My heart relives the pain of many years passed.
And although I long to turn the dreams away,
They often walk back to haunt me,
And take me to another day.

If I close my eyes and pray with all my soul,
Maybe kindness will take the dreams away,
And sunshine will fill this weary heart,
Which longs so deeply to live only in this day.

Lesa you are truly a poet but I think you should be writng in a song format. All I have read of you is very similar to that style why dont you try it listen to some songs to see how they are structured then write a chorus, and build your poem around that. I honestly think it would be great for the sort of writing you are doing. Keep creating your very good. Seamus

Lesa, unfortunately the past always finds a way into the present, if by no other means but by our thoughts. Really good poem... well done! ! Brian

Funny, how the memories pop in when least expected, unbidden, unininvited, unwelcomed, but there nontheless.
