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.……….

..."Consciousness relieving or reliving The past Or perhaps the future I shed my clothes to lighten that burden Tip-toeing across aimless shooting stars"... WIHWT You delve to the molecule of the wandering mind. A cosmic consciousness. |

Marcel~ '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.……….' 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~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |
