The Stuff That Dreams are Made Of

It’s the stuff that dreams are made of
this story of ours, you had me at hello
I first met you in the dreamscape
you a fallen star and me with a broken
wing…two fools crying over life’s
lost songs

I said, find me in the morning light
let not this dream fade away
we’ll build a world where you and I
can reside…we’ll create magic with
our poetic words…confess our desires
follow our hearts

We bonded somewhere in time
and space…
our dreams we needed to chase

and in the morning light, I said,
“find me in the darkness of night”
I will be waiting to pen an adventure
of mythical dragons and searching
for lost treasures in a sea of ghosts

It’s the stuff that dreams are made of
this story of ours, you had me at hello
you found your way back into the heavens
I guess stars are meant to shine
and humans aren’t meant to fly

We bonded somewhere in time
and space…
our dreams we needed to chase

This story of ours is the stuff that dreams
are made of…..every night before I close
my eyes I recall a special star burning
bright....

  1. This is my new favourite of yours, True - "I guess stars are meant to shine and humans arent meant to fly". Wow. This is just so wonderful. How awesome to have had a connection like that. Once in a lifetime.

  2. Truedessa, your poem is what I imagine a perfect representation of soul mates is. That bond will never be broken and you can still be together even if worlds/realms apart.
