My Dream Man
Opened my eyes and had a dream
Saw you standing in front of me
Reached out to hold you close
Hand misted through…are you a ghost?
Could have sworn you are real
Your embrace had a solid feel
But each time we meet you wear a new face
And we’re in a new house in a beautiful place
If I sing our song when I dream
Will you come to me outside of dreams?
Think about you all the time
Determined to hear that you are mine
Opened my eyes and thought I had a dream
There you were in front of me
Reached out and held me close
Flesh and bone neither a ghost
Could’ve sworn you were real
Because your body had a solid feel
When we meet again I’ll know this face
In an old house in a beautiful place
Can’t remember our song outside of dreams
But all is well for you are here with me
Only you occupy my time
This night the wind whispered that you are mine
Saw you standing in front of me
Reached out to hold you close
Hand misted through…are you a ghost?
Could have sworn you are real
Your embrace had a solid feel
But each time we meet you wear a new face
And we’re in a new house in a beautiful place
If I sing our song when I dream
Will you come to me outside of dreams?
Think about you all the time
Determined to hear that you are mine
Opened my eyes and thought I had a dream
There you were in front of me
Reached out and held me close
Flesh and bone neither a ghost
Could’ve sworn you were real
Because your body had a solid feel
When we meet again I’ll know this face
In an old house in a beautiful place
Can’t remember our song outside of dreams
But all is well for you are here with me
Only you occupy my time
This night the wind whispered that you are mine

This is a lovely piece of work!
my fave lines are:
*When we meet again I’ll know this face
In an old house in a beautiful place
*Could have sworn you are real
Your embrace had a solid feel
Just a tiny observation (if I may?)....
spell check in this line:
*There you where in front of me (perhaps, you "were"?)
And curious about summat.....why does the dream man have a different face each time that she/he (making no assumptions here!) sees him?
A sweet write, Chels.
Keep penning!
Cheers

Thank you :) yes it is supposed to be were, I'll be sure to change that shortly. Also, I have yet to figure out why the dream man has a different face each time, but the...I want to say essence...is always the same.

Cool.
Thanks for your explanation.
Re: face changing...
Maybe cos he's so unpredictable...or maybe...he's a shape-shifter....och, kidding on that last one, ok.
Dream man could be an illusion to her, cos she sees not the truth?
Keep penning, though!

Hmm...since you asked about it I've spent some time thinking it over and this is the conclusion I've come to,
Dream man's face keeps changing because everywhere she goes she's searching for him...
Every man that catches her eye could be him...
Every encounter she has could reveal him...she is searching...and when she finally finds him and is able to keep him she will remember that face...
I like your take on it though, gives me a new branch of questions to ponder :)

Like the new branch you've decided to climb here.
Wonder that if she were to ever find him again and remember his face, would she still want what WAS?
Cos by then, she will have changed, as we all do...from time to time.
The ONLY thing constant in this life, apart from death....is CHANGE.
Can't avoid it.
When people or situations change, we become upset.
Instead, we ought to be displaying BUCKETS of gratitude in order to be showered with unexpected blessings.....like DUP! :-)
Write more poems, Mystic...you never know what the tides'll bring you.....
Swell day to you!
