Dire Consequences of a dream

Dire Consequences of a dream

Sand felt mellow.
Sun felt mild.

Lying hushed on a beach,
With arms stretched wide
Basking in the subtle sounds-
The ballad of the forest orchestra,
The poetry of the comforting breeze…
Allured by me, inched towards me
The shy blue sea.

While I relished every breath,
Gentle fingers ran through my hair…
I saw her face…
As pretty as she was in our school days;
Donned an exotic velvety gown-
Hung off her shoulders by a thread…
She smiled and eased my mind…
God was kind.

You look so divine, Jade…
Words came out, involuntarily.
Jade???

The words were loud enough;
I shuddered with shock…
To realize
That all those good things
Were not for real…
To realize
That all this time;
I was dreaming on my girlfriend’s lap

haha! Loved the twist in the tale! But the starting few stanzas are so beautiful that you should use them for another poem, perhaps a love poem!! (exclude humour!)

You sure have variety! :)
