DREAMS WITHIN A DREAM


Dreams Within A Dream 

So suddenly a taxi arrived my way  
An abrupt end to it , no more time  
For a kiss of bless , 
I waited on the walk of the earth , 
I walked alone with emptiness running  
In my broken heart , 
Oh how I loved him so , 
He kissed me upon my brow! 
And, in parting from me now, 
We end just like the raving wind , 
When love touched my heart , 
His kiss caressed at my skin even within , 
Now all I hold within my heart is the  
Coldness of the dark , 
My days have been a dream; 
Yet all hope has flown away in a night, 
My day's are so gray , 
In a vision, or in none, 
Is it therefore the less gone? 
All that we see or seem to see 
Is but a dream within a dream. 
I hold on to the love I once known , 
I stand on a lonely street in Paris hoping 
To find a drink of passion in a cup , 
I hold within my hand ; 
Grains of the golden sand and a old wedding band, 
Through my fingers to the deep, 
While I weep- while I weep over he , 
Oh God I need your love !  
I can not grasp the pain in my heart , 
Oh God ! please save me from the pain he gave me 
The night he had gone away from me , 
Is all that we see or seem could it all be  
A dream within a dream?

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery /Judy Emery
