Sweet dreams whispered in my ear
Sweet dreams whispered for me to hear
You love me and I never thought
This night would come and you’d draw near
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Half and Half.”

An image
Appeared to me
A vision of
Sun and sea
Reflections of
Day and night
Unfilled dreams
Filling my sight
I used to think we were special
I used to think we were love
I used to think my dreams had come true
I used to think my prayers had been heard
But now I’ve learnt
My thoughts were just like threads of a spider’s web
Glistening in the sun
But as soon as it is touched
The magic that created it
Vaporises
Leaving the delicate threads
To disperse
As if nothing
Was ever there
I
Blew some
Bubble
Dreams into the
Air
Thoughts
Of mine
My hopes and
Cares
And prayed
As each
Floated silently
Away from me
That one
Fragile
Vulnerable
Bubble dream
Would be carried
Gently back
To me
Inspired by an initial post of mine
Dreams as Bubbles before I had really started writing poetry:

I close my eyes and wonder
Where will I go tonight?
Will I be carried on the wings of angels
Flying me to heavens so high
Or to forests of enchanted trees
Or will I be tormented by the laughter of my enemies
As they stand on the side like a frenzied mob
Laughing while I burn
Will I be in fields of tall grass
Surrounded by scents of lush greenery
Or will I be far away
From all that I know
In mixed-up crazy lands
Where nothing makes sense at all
Will I know that there is an escape
An end to all the madness
Or will I be sucked into an endless abyss
I close my eyes
As I do every night
Praying that I will be kept safe
That my dreams will be kind
And that tomorrow
Will be kind on me too
From Sydney,
Good night xo
