"A dream of dreams"

Created for the Villanelle Challenge

By Salomé SaffiriPublished about a month ago Updated about a month ago 1 min read

From time to time I see the dream of dreams:

Dream gifts me with a child that won’t be mine.

From time to time, or only so it seems.

***

Enveloped in the dreamy golden gleam,

Arriving in my arms through space and time-

From time to time I live the dream of dreams.

***

Connected still by dream-like navel string

Emerging freshly from my dreamless brine

From time to time or only so it seems?

***

I love it fiercely, as you’ve never seen,

But I can’t carry it across the dreamscape line.

From time to time I live the dream of dreams:

***

I leave it the dream, entrapped within.

I promise to return; It stays behind.

From time to time or only so it seems,

***

I hold it close - it never will redeem.

I hold it close so I can say Goodbye.

From time to time I see the dream of dreams:

From time to time or only so it seems..

About the Creator

Salomé Saffiri

Writing - is my purpose. I feel elated when my thoughts assume shapes, and turn into Timberwolves, running through the snowbound planes of fresh paper, leaving the black ink of their paw prints behind.
