A most peculiar set of events unfolded
In the darkness where my dreams are molded
She found me in my favorite mental haze
With the warmest smile on her face.
Gave me the key to find her there once more
“Reach out for me” she did implore.
Before this dream began to fade
As I begged my mind to let me stay
Tightly gripping this world of fiction
“It’s more than fantasy” was my conviction
One last thing I had to save
The final piece, it was her name
And so the sunshine greeted my eyes
My conscious mind then came alive
After the morning’s toil ceased
I’d set out to decode my dream
On social media I searched your name
And to my surprise I found your face!
I’ve never believed in destiny
But how could I possibly explain what I’ve seen?
It never really amounted to anything
Such a coincidental happening.
Though surely this has to have some meaning
For a mind can’t dream a face from nothing.

This was tight. I enjoyed the flow, & theme. But I need to know..
Is this real!? Because that’d be sick! ?
Thank you Jerome, and yes this actually did happen to me!
OMG can’t believe that actually happened to you!
I really resonated with “As I begged my mind to let me stay,
Tightly gripping this world of fiction”.
You’ve massively inspired me to do my own piece on a lovely dream I had a few nights ago, when I hugged my dad, who passed away a couple of years ago. Was one of those dreams, like yours, when you’re aware you’re dreaming at the time.
I also really like this the rhythm and your choice of words :
“And so the sunshine greeted my eyes
My conscious mind then came alive”
Great piece!
Thank you Lou! I’m glad you liked it! I’m sorry to hear about your father, but I can’t wait to read the poem!
You’ve woven a very great piece here. Smooth flow with great storytelling. Enjoyed this one.
Thank you Sir!
“Though surely this has to have some meaning
For a mind can’t dream a face from nothing.”
Those 2 lines alone have so much depth
Great write
