Sweet dreams

By Ashteroth

Firstly just gotta say I've read about 200 poems lately and I'm gettin a lil paranoid, so if this work sounds to similar to anyone else just let me know. It shouldn't be, but could filter through subconscious or something... (That happen to any one else?) but it is what's in my heart so here goes.

When the evenings done
and night has come
my sleep is never quick or calm
I wake up with nowhere to run

with the inner demons fading scream
then just like "Once upon a dream"
my mind becomes a silver screen,
some sleeping beauty's waking scene

...and we would walk along the river
hand in hand we surely stroll
pick the flowers that I give her
holding up her parasol
and profess eternal love
to which we firmly hold
if I could pluck the stars above
they'd be ever hers to hold

Then when the day is done
we venture home
a cottage midst the trees

I'd make a meal
we'd talk all night
and make love as we please

get to know her well
and share our hearts
lay together in the breeze

make a family
raise them well
but these are only my day dreams.

(P.S. will be shattered if they are like anyone else so be kind about it)

When it comes to writing romance, it really is hard not to say something not said before, it's all in the manner it's presented and you got that right here. I enjoyed the read, write on.

Thanx again everyone. Yeah bit cliche but isn't every story eventually in some way. Just so happens that sleeping beauty was one of my fave stories when I was a kid. And the song once upon a dream, I was the kind dag that sorta believed it might turn out that way. ;-)

I like the way this feels. It is simply honest without amplifying emotions or making too much of anything. I like it.

dare I say... and no offense is intended at all... it hit me like a wheelbarrel full of cliche bricks. The thoughts were nice, and I doubt anyone would claim theft, as the thoughts are pretty much universally felt. The first 2 stanzas were nicely done, although the 2nd one destroyed my hopes for an atypical rhyme scheme. I was elated thinking you were gonna run with an "aaba ccbc" scheme there for a second. ;) That's just me though. The ending provided a nice twist, ensuring the write as a whole belongs on a dark poetry site, killing all the happy happy joy thoughts with the fact that it was all just daydreaming.

all in all, it's surprising in a good sense, as it's an attempt outside of your normal works/style, and that means you're stretching/growing/progressing! *applause*
