A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes Poem by Dónall Dempsey

A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes

Rating: 5.0


In your old nursery
we ride the rocking horse

of your childhood

colours sad & faded
paint peeling

I clasp your waist
enchanted
as you ride back into

your dreams

eyes closed

you tell me
you

use to rock like this

& dream of me
whoever I was to be

& now
here
we are

you smile
from very far away


tell me
I am

your dream
come true

as you drift dreamily

from little girl to young woman.

I more than
delighted to be

your Prince Charming.

The grinning rocking horse
galloping free

from fairytale
to Reality.

And wow again! This is just...lovely. What a beautiful journey to make through someone's past and all through the magical talisman of the rocking horse. This is a perfect dream of a poem...a fairy tale come through. You way of expressing love and awarenes is just so beautiful at times but you have surpased yourself here. This is just a gorgeous sumptious feast of words and conceits fused together by the strength of your storytelling. You have brought all the elements together and fused them into a very special piece of writing. Wow and wow! GinaXXX
