I
had dreams of us
chasing
after sunsets
painting
the sky in
orange
crush hues
I
had dreams of
white
sands, azure seas
greeting
us at sunrise
in
your honey eyes
I
saw promises
sweet
as candy
if
only those dreams
could
be reality

bittersweet in the end it seems! Beautifully penned! 💝
ReplyDeleteThere a bittersweetness her that is engaging. 👍🏼🙂
ReplyDeleteSo well done. I like that touch of "honey eyes," the trap hidden in the temptation to dream, and then wake up to "reality."
ReplyDeleteThose orange crushes. There's nothing like them. Delightful.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the Roy Orbison song "In Dreams." *sigh*
ReplyDeleteWell done! Sometimes reality bites!
ReplyDeleteSad and sweet...
ReplyDeleteAww...dreams sometimes don't turn into reality. Beautiful, Arcadia.
ReplyDelete*sigh* I'm so with you, Arcadia... I've been there...

I love the use of colour, Maria, and the twist at the end – bittersweet indeed.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone.
ReplyDeleteI like the way this flows from sunset to sunrise, the colours and "honey eyes" is sweet.

ReplyDeleteAlas some dreams don't always come true... but the good thing neither do nightmares.
ReplyDeleteThank you again everyone.
