Ph: Poetry: My Dream Poem by Brian Johnston

Ph: Poetry: My Dream

Rating: 4.9


I seek not to possess,
But only to belong,
My dream is not to sing
But only write the song.

I know that just my looks
And charm are not enough
To get me through the days
When seas are more than rough.

It's such a thrill when words
Burst forth as if possessed,
It gives me hope that I
Someday will find my rest,

A message sweet and clear
That no one can make wrong,
And celebrate the day
When I become my song.

If you would like to give this poem a rating, please do so in a comment that is separate from your regular comment if you leave one. Many poets, including myself, have been experiencing visits from hard to identify PH members who like to damage other's poem's ratings with illegal multiple votes of 1.0 and make a mockery out of normal voting. You voting in a comment field helps me to protect your rating of my poem which they wish to destroy. I know that this is a bit of extra work for you, but believe me it is appreciated.
