"You" from my dream, Are you real?
.......
"You" from my dreams ... Are you real?
You grabbed my hand, what was your deal?
A face so pure and a hand so soft
You looked familiar, but not quite oft.
A new face, A new shirt sometimes
Your talks being sweet and endless chimes
"You" from my dreams ... Are you real?
Whoever you are; You make me heal
I face trials all my life in here
At worst times —my heart sears
You look calm and warm—no harm
I feel the peace when you take my arm
"You" from my dreams ... Are you real?
What is this that you make me feel?
My life is a mirror of me in my dream
But the mirror isn't as erect as it might seem
My life feels numb, and I feel dumb
Come to my life, O! Will you come?
.
Till next time,

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

Oh my, the beat in this poem is like a love drunk drum. ‘Oft’ that’s a happy surprise, original and fitting. I like the repetition and the sweet reveal that he makes her heal. Oh my heart is about to explode. 🥰 Oh I like that imagery, ‘my heart sears’ I like how this poem makes me feel, all lovey and jolly. Beckoning him was such a nice way to end this. 😍 👌🏽♥️👏🏽
It's a heartfelt and evocative piece, good job.
Sweet, sweet poem! I could feel the purity of your heart that drove your arm to slide through the keyboard with such momentum, that a masterpiece was created. I saw your soul written in words, in the softest of ways.
Aww, It's so sweet. Can I know who is 'you'? 👀
Love how this poem blends dream and reality! ✨ The mix of warmth and mystery makes it feel like a sweet, surreal experience. Really cool vibe!💖
"My life is a mirror of me in my dream But the mirror isn't as erect as it might seem" Oooo, these lines were so deep. I had to reread them a few times to take it all in. And yes, I laughed at the word "erect" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 "My life feels numb, and I feel dumb" Gosh this was soooo relatable. I wish you don't really feel this way though 🥺 Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
Ohh! This holds immense emotional depth. It signifies how the presence of someone in dreams calms the chaos within your existence. Truly wonderful, rhyming is always beautiful ✨👏
What beautiful imagery and imagination. You really are a good dreamer in the nicest possible way. The rhyme is also really nice and keeps it swaying along.
Hi Maryam - I don't like to dream, because I am afraid I will have a nightmare and I don't really rest real well. But if I did dream, I would like to feel some peace when someone takes my arm. Beautifully written.
Excellent I like this
This is beautifully done
I enjoyed your poem so much!
I agree with Cindy! Beautiful job.
What a beautifully lingering poem, Maryam. Well done.
