The Dreams Destiny

 

Staring across the room

      A beauty yet to behold

A decision to be made

      Is a new relationship about to unfold?

 

Get an early feeling

      Something strong

Your heart starts pounding

      Is something wrong?

 

There is a becoming

      Of a strange emotion

Do you want to move in

      On this awkward notion?

 

You inch your way over

      Preparing this new start

It has to be perfect

      So they might never part

 

She glances at you

      A knot starts somewhere down inside

You feel like running away

      But you know there is nowhere to hide

 

As you drew near

     And the words ushered through

She responds in kind

     To relieve the burden felt deep inside you

 

You kept your cool

      You played your cards right

It appears you’ve made that first line

      Last the Whole Night!

Introduction to The Dreams Destiny

So continuing on in my college days I knew that some girl was to come along that would give me the feeling that love at first sight may actually exist.  While standing in a bar, not too many drinks in me at the time, I saw this girl standing on the other side of the room that I could not look away from.  As I realized that the pressure was on me to make the first move, all I could think of was that I had one chance to make an impression.

Next week’s new poem walks you through the anxiety I had when I thought I had met the “one”.  For others, as in this case for me, the first “one” is normally never the right “one”.  But I will say that practice makes perfect and, as rare as I had this feeling in my lifetime, it was still good to work on perfecting my words for when the right “one” did come along.  It gave me the confidence necessary to overcome my fears when I finally did find my true “one”.

The Lake

 

It was a moon out, but not any ordinary moon

It had one of those eerie shapes about it, one that was off tune

 

Was it really the moon to blame, or perhaps the dog that barked too loud on that one strange filled night?

For Rick and Sue had passed many a year with everything going, what seemed to be, so right

 

But it was still the night of the eerie moon and the barking dog

That something awful would happen, something beyond any fog

 

It was a night that Rick and Sue decided to take a dive, a dive that would cause many a tide

As Rick’s head hit water first he had felt a numbness, unexplained, but did subside

Next Sue dipped her foot in, one toe at a time

Even though she appeared clumsy, she did everything in rhyme

 

Both swam together, both splashed together, both loved together, both died together

Perhaps drowned by sorrow, perhaps drowned for eternal togetherness, no one will ever know

But it was on that night, when the moon was eerie, the dog barking and the deathly lake still quivering that no one will ever go

 

For in that lake where two bodies tend to dwell

It is the people who remain un-wet from the lake of heaven

The Lake of Hell

Introduction to The Lake

When I needed a break from classes in college I used to go up to the northern section of the state where there was a lake that was a hot spot for diving. I was very intimidated by the higher elevations but I would go up there, take a peek down, and then walk back down to heights that I would be comfortable jumping from. I wrote the next poem based on the subject of dying a very lonely death, but one that would leave all in doubt as to the true meaning of why and how such death occurred. While I have no regrets ever making that tall leap of faith from the cliffs, I do believe next weeks poem will make you think twice about taking unnecessary risks.

The Dream

 

As a young boy I had a dream

      A dream that was held for years

Being 21 and with my teens gone

      This dream was turning to fears

 

I had sought the Perfect Woman

      And had put forth many a ship for sail

So with the experiences I had gained

      I would have bet my dream to fail

 

In my dream I had wanted a woman

      A woman who possessed beauty inside and out

A woman with sheer confidence in herself

      A woman that left me no doubt

 

In my dream she had to be pretty

      But even she new nothing of it

She had to be charming and elegant

      With a contagious sense of wit

 

In my dream she had to laugh

      Even at things that were dumb

She had to make the boring times

      Appear to be so much fun

 

In my dream she had to cry

      When things were going bad

She had to hold me

      When things for me were sad

 

And in my 21st year of dreams

      I was accompanied by something new

The vision of this perfect girl

      Who I have come to learn as you
