Written for this Second Tuesday of October
#OpenLinkNight @dVersePoets
I
dream
of
you
regardless
of
what
you
say
your new one word storyline
reveals a secret
hidden among the roses
red bleeding from night thorns
your wishes shattered
where rivers flow against the shores
I dream of you
regardless of what you say
it’s only a rainy day
a quiet time in October . . .
aloft in my dreams
where deadly day-fires’ grow
your pulse lingers in the wind
will I follow . . .
through the open door
through the open door
over looked moments unspent
among our restless souls
my true love knows no limits
unless you are free
to be
my true love knows no limits
unless you are free
to be
I
dream
of
you
regardless
of
what
you
say
The Open Door

I love the opening and closing line. So beautiful, so achy…

Joanie, my beautiful Ozark friend! What a wonderful poem – I especially love 'your wishes shattered where rivers flow against the shores
I dream of you regardless of what you say' And the visual of the open door – so great! K

Joanie! This is yet another fantastic weave…you've laced some intense imagery, softened by the lingering cry I somehow sense in my imagination. I would have to walk through that door…might have something to do with the scents I imagine wafting thru the air in that image! 😉

Susie, thank you for stopping by and for your feedback. Sometimes,
I feel love is so elusive, and then at the same time always there —
if we dare to walk through that 'open door' . . .

What a beautiful poem and the song to go with it. “I dream of you regardless of what you say.” Love is love whether it is accepted or rejected.
