Daydreaming

by charles   Mar 23, 2014


If we had met in another time
Would you still be mine
Walking along the beach
The stars just out of reach
Sharing things that we hide
Somewhere deep down inside
I take you by the hand
And lead you to neverland
In that far off distant place
I watch the smile come across your face
Magical...so it seems
Us together...you and me
Is it just fantasy
Like something from a dream
So when you lay down at night
As you turn out the light
Laying there in bed
Thoughts and dreams in your head
As you fall asleep
Those dreams I will keep
So together we can share
In another time somewhere
And maybe then we shall see
Those dreams becoming reality

    I enjoyed this write. It's a very sweet poem. I always favoured this style of writing and I feel that you did well with it.

    In regards to the style, I noticed two things with this particular piece.

    First;
    In that far off distant place
    I watch the smile come across your face

    The syllables throughout are generally lower in count, except for this set. Line 10 is longer than the rest, slightly breaking the flow. If I could make a suggestion, perhaps this;

    "I watch a smile cross your face."

    Unless your referring to a specific smile of this person, then the reference of "the smile" would be the way to remain, though I'm not sure how you could lower the count keeping that part.

    Second;
    "Is it just fantasy
    Like something from a dream"

    Everything else in the poem rhymes, but I'm not finding the connection in this set.

    Prior to lines 13 and 14, you have rhymed lines 11 and 12 with "seems" and "me" which fits great, but I would says that "seems" rhymes better with "dream" and "fantasy" with "me".

    My suggestion in this case, is not to change the wording, but change the line placement if it can still fit and get the message across. In my head, it fits smoothly like so;

    Magical...so it seems
    Like something from a dream
    Us together...you and me
    Is it just fantasy

    Either way though, if you care not for any of that, than so be it lol. The read is great either way and I like it. That's really the most important part. If you're happy with it, change nothing!!

    Thanks for the read!!

      A lot of my poems are written "spur-of-the-moment" (usually while I'm at my job). I write what comes to me as it comes, may later shuffle it around a little so it makes more sense. Thanks for your views of it, as always, comments are appreciated C
