This is a new poem I wrote today.
If She Believed In Dreams 
If only she believed in dreams
I know that she could see
true reality
I feel as if she’d want
so much more of me
not some flipped out fantasy
If she believed in dreams
Who could blame her
toward such sullen trepidation
for when a heart breaks
collapsing oft
there is not consideration
to be feigned
only bye-bye salutations
then shadowed shame
If she believed in dreams
I sense that she would be
what it is she wants to be
someone truly free
and so much more than me
a light that’s filled with love
not some lost dichotomy
If only
she believed
in dreams

this is so beautiful….
yes… this is beautiful. “If Only” seems to be a theme I keep running into lately…
Love the first verse especially… and how the “dream” IS the “true reality”…. or could be. So ironic… yet makes perfect sense.
Exceptionally well written

I absolutely love this poem. What a wonderful writing style you have. Will definitely keep on popping back to your blog and have a good read.
Thanks! I play with styles but this one came out of my extensive song-writing experience and I may evolve it into a song later. I gather you also write songs. This is the 2nd most popular poem on my blog so far. And you know I admire your stuffs (check out her poetry if you haven’t.)
It is written very lyrically. I write lyrics that sometimes just sit better as poems – but it’s really cool that you noticed that. And once again, thank you for your kind words.
