My dreams speak to me.

They call me out to a dark grey sea.

I stand on the shore.

The foam laps my feet and waves roar.

I raise my arms, flying.

Rushing out over the glassy surface, fears dying.

A twinkle in the distance, my heart leaps.

I know that it\'s you, beyond the deeps.

You cry as you stumble amongst the parts

of decaying souls and broken hearts.

From expression of shock to unadulterated joy

I watch your face and try to play coy.

The act doesn\'t last and my smile breaks through.

I stretch out my hands, so glad I found you.

Our fingers lock and we rise to the sky.

I open my eyes and begin to cry.

Would that I could find you not only in my dreams.

Pain grows, how real it seems

That you\'re merely a figment,

an imaginary joy for me to lament.

I see no happy ending to this life through which I creep.

Wake me if you find me, until then I sleep.

It's the good dreams you want to stay in forever and sometimes I wish I didn't have them. They make it so much harder to face the "real" world.

There's a saying by the Chinese philosopher/poet Li Po:

"man flies highest on his own wings" Ignore the gender bias - just hold on to the fact that sometime you'll fly too without the aid of anything but yourself. And you'll be wide awake. Trust me - I've been in the pit many times - and climbed out.

another really good poem :)
the last line is great.. 'wake me if you find me, until then i sleep..' *sigh*
Oh, wow...

Are you really my adoptee???

I have absolutely no criticism for this, which is rare for me... It's beautiful, it has a great flow and you tackled a topic (dreams) that most would call cliche but this piece isn't cliche by any means. You took a general topic and molded it into something meaningful, and most importantly, something of your own.
