“Only A Dream” is a heartfelt lament that delves into the depths of yearning. The poet grapples with the aching absence of a loved one, blurring the lines between the solace of dreams and the harsh reality of waking life. Through vivid imagery and raw emotion, the poem captures the universal experience of longing and the enduring power of memory.

Only A Dream

I had a dream one lonely night
And in this dream, I was missing you
I was laying in my bed crying
There was nothing that I could do

I woke up and sat up in bed
And wondered, what is the deal?
My hand wiped away tears
Realizing my tears were real

I turned on the light and laid back down
And sighed as I turned my head
To look at your beautiful face
In the picture by my bed

Then something came to mind
while I was staring at you
How I now believe when people say
“Dreams do come true.”

BOTTLED MEMORIES

These stand-alone poems were written over many years. While individually they describe the conflicts associated with alcoholism, when read together they reveal a more complete picture of the destruction, depression, and chaos of addiction, as well as the peace, hope, and joy of recovery. Although most of these poems pertain to my life, it is my hope that other people will relate to them also. It’s not only my story but the story of so many others.
