Rewrite:

  The Morphine of a Dream

I ship upon a ship of dreams
Where subtle schemes fill sails and seams.
Inhaling all the dole and toll
That roam and shoal a dreamers goal.

Where fantasies mine roses path
And fan my mind with aftermath.
To heir my eyes with new aware
And dare my heart the wildest dare.

Where fire lights my very soul
And Shangri-la becomes my goal.
Where furies of its hurricane
Light and build a new domain.

The sea lofts clean, the sky soft blue,
The sun strikes gold I never knew
But always there is left to glean,
The mist and haze of blues and green.

And the gulls sing, instead of scream.
They team the air and theme the dream.
For I am gone of lunacy
And I am one with ecstasy.

And should this be my daily fare
With just one love to hold and share
Than I could walk upon the sea.
And fly above all ennui.

But when the morphine pauses short
The gauze that holds my dreams, abort.
In time all codeine fades like dew
It's then the obscene glades anew.

Well....my thoughts are jumbled at best, but then you love doing this, give my mind much to ponder, then leave me alone to watch it wander...

all I can say to this serene,
is I'm allergic to Morphine!

** could your inner rhyme be any more divine...
me thinks not ...
but knows you can pen it every time
me

I love your imperfections ... I love your everything ...
Your broken heart ... your broken wings.

Brilliant writing Sy...... I see you used a little bit of the multi-syllabic rhyme scheme that I introduced to this board and I admit, I was pissed off at first cause, I don't really like anyone copying me but, I cooled off when my father told me that if someone imitates my style that means they admired it therefore, making it the highest form of flattery so Seymour, you did a very nice job....peace!!!

To fly abov ennui, is to dream of other things and places. We know that dreamers live forever and soon our dreams become reality from within our dreams comes creation and form. Poem extra-ordinary.
