Dream To Dream Boy

• Artist: neodapanther
• Description: Something I cooked up when I was tired, and I missed my dream boy. It's more about the emotion and words, which is what I feel gives it flow... I'm not saying it has the best rhythm, and obviously it's not meant to rhyme.
  Thoughts?

O’ dreaming boy
Tell me how you sleep tonight
How vivid is your darkness
Who do you become in sleep
Who’s life do you imagine
O’ dreaming boy
All behind your shut eyes
What new worlds, what universes
What glimpse can you give me
Of realms undefined
O’ dreaming boy
Can I have a peak
A look at your subconscious
Can I skip from story to story
And string them together
The way your mind might
O’ dreaming boy
Do you dare to wake up?
Do you even want to?
You’ll return to the real world
The one we must live in awake
O’ dreaming boy
Sleep as you may
Wake up when you must
But do return to me
And tell me how you dreamed

It wanders a bit, but I agree that the emotion in the words gives it flow. I quite like the last four lines because it gives the poem a sense of purpose, instead of just a string of words rambling off with no apparent end except the boredom of the author. Kudos.

So much wonder about someone wondering. smile
I guess it's so healthy to share imagination.
