Journal of Dreams

My body turns and wrestles with forever
Unable to overcome the guilt
The many possibilities
Of claustrophobic hopes and shattered dreams
A battle that continues from sunrise to sunset
Until I break away with broken hip
A leap of faith to flee my shame
Above reality and into imagination
And like a comic strip character
Our hero turns the page
But not before the dream is forgotten
Lost in a storm of confusion
From a wind that blows with jealous intent
Pages swirl
Silhouetting the new born moon
Though my eyes are open I walk blindly
Guided by the whispers of a sleeping lover
But my soul remains weighted down
His dream
Is my dream
We can’t move
We can’t breathe
We can’t talk
And I can’t awake
Must have been a stress filled day
Consciousness relieving or reliving
The past
Or perhaps the future
I shed my clothes to lighten that burden
Tip-toeing across aimless shooting stars
My nakedness and pain unaware
Because hunger growls from my heart
I close my eyes and make a wish
And there it hung from the clouds above
A golden apple to feed my fears
My soul sings of sweet redemption
As I bite with a passion a vampire would admire
And all the emotions
Apologies
Sins
And memories
Flow into my thoughts
Liquid courage
From the knowledge of the world
Lucidly I embrace my plight
No better time to attempt a flight
Falling to where it began
To the laughing
The crying
The unveiling of reality
Allowing the only things happiness has promised
The smile of the sun
And love from a world
We were never meant to understand.……….
Marcel

You pen with the ink of ponder~
'Allowing the only things happiness has promised'
Understanding this completely~
Always nice to see you venture into the circle~
