Dreams
by D. H. Lawrence



All people dream, but not equally.
Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their mind,
Wake in the morning to find that it was vanity.

But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people,
For they dream their dreams with open eyes,
And make them come true.

[Lorenzo]

A dream is but a pigment of the imagination,
an expectation within the mind as the body beds in sleep
Oh but there is no pain in dreaming
oh no pain at all,

But the hurt of a dream is waking up from such a beauty,
to have touched it,
loved it,
and hold it no more.


Se la vie~

[Lorenzo]

Once upon a time, one time,
I had loved thee with the whole breadth of my bosom
these very eyes affixed to you ,
can you have ever questioned my loyalty, and my totality?

But as they say,
It is in the purity of Love that one gives self to the other,
woe that you did not understand the breadth of my offer.

So I am now disinclined,
it is with lament that i retract my offer,
for i assume it was but a mere dream.


With a tearful smile,
