The Beauty Of Dreams Poem by Alexander Steen Stewart

The Beauty Of Dreams

Rating: 4.9


If ever I saw your face without fear,
It was always with eyes of sleep.
For in the world of dreams to you I'm dear,
With feeling oh so deep.

All other claims of beauty are but lies,
A blasphemy against my heart.
But can I for you my feelings disguise,
Impossible! One look and my senses depart.

Whenever our eyes did happen to meet,
Yours would show everything but affection.
But can I see now the embers of love's heat,
Upon more recent inspection?

Am I just seeing what I wish to see?
An illusion of love where none should be,
Mayhap one day you'll fall for me
But as of yet it's much too far to see.

Lovely lines; Well done. I may have preferred some kinds of stanzas or couplets to really bring out the beauty of the work.

A nice effort. It's nice to see you working in a traditional sonnet form. You might change 'you' to 'your' in the first line though, and 'doth' comes across as too archaic, not in keeping with the contemporary language of the rest of the poem.
