“Your Lovely Dreams”
Christina Hedges
With a light that just won’t appear
Engulfed in the darkness created by man
A place where there is no love, joy, or harmony
Only anger, hate, and fear reside
The unknown flies and scurries to exploit you
The trick in your head are lies
Anything you were ever told are lies.
Running away from nothing
Heading towards nothing
What has the world come down to?
The fire in people’s eyes
Exploiting other peoples lives
Gossip, drama, blackmail, all lies.
There is only one place that matters,
Where you can hide,
Where you can play,
Where no one can hurt you,
Only resides in your lovely dreams

Very powerful words!
Hello Christina! Your poem of that special place of dreams is lovely.
Hi Christina! I have to agree with Mrs Cox. Your poem is quiet lovely. You bring your reader full circle from the darkness into the light which is “in your lovely dreams” …I really could feel your passion in your words…. You have done a great job. Keep up the good work….
Wonderful poem Christina. There is much beyond the superficial. You are a fine observer and intuitive of the inner workings of the mind. It may be an interesting poem for you to revisit years later…quite metaphysical…thank you for sharing.
BTW, good luck with your musical gifts as well!
Beautiful poem, Christina. I enjoyed reading it and am so in awe of your talent.
Christina, thank you for sending me your poetry. Keep on writing…
