Poetry Dice Challenge - Blinking Lights
There are a lot of things That I want to see That I want to do That I want to be I want to see **Sheeps** grazing on vast plains Lie on the grass And feel the air on my skin I want to cross **Stone bridges that run** **Over clear waters** Under the sun I want to watch A field of **flowers** sway Under a pleasant breeze On a sunny day I want to climb Mountains so steep And marvel on the view As I reach its summit I want to build **Tents** in a meadow And tell stories As the campfire glows I want to travel The scorching deserts Watching the **pyramids** Made by people's efforts I want to sail The vast open seas As the captain of my ship And enjoy the sea breeze I always wanted To see these sights But all I can see Are blinking lights Blinking lights of **planes** As they cruise the night sky Blending with stars As they slowly fly by Blinking lights of cars As they go through the streets Going home from work Or to travel or eat Blinking lights on the **phone** From unread messages That wait there patiently Until someone notices And blinking lights of stars As we bathe in starlight We dance on the rooftop Until close to midnight I can hear faint breaths As you **sleep** on my lap And on times like this I just wish the world stopped My **hand** on your hair Caressing so gently Admiring your face As you're catching some **zzz**'s These thoughts came flowing in Glancing through the window Watching the blinking lights These thoughts slowly followed There are a lot of things That I want to do But I'd always rather Stay here with you

Aaahhh another good poem. I can't write my entry🤧 The story connects and it's both sad and happy, choosing her over things you want to see, how lucky a girl can be💕

Thanks for taking your time to read my work!
You're welcome. It's a beautiful piece
I wonder about who is the "you" on the lap. I wonder but it doesn't matter. It's good to have wishes, dreams, imagine what life looks like without if all are fulfilled. 💕
To be honest, I don't have anyone like that. It's always one sided for me. But I think I'll be doing everything else aside from the one I don't have.
Take a cat on the lap. It will appreciate you and can take care of itself if you leave. Unless you suffer from allergies. 🍀
I'll keep that in mind. Besides I'm very fond of cats.
