Dream Approach

Written: September 29, 2023
____________________________________________________________

Walking through the corridors of my dream,
Down the boulevard of anguish, it seems,
Breathing in the knell of an unreadable sky,
Haunt Harbinger hypostatization, holding high

Dimly lit guests, snow troopers, and a piano key
Playing a dismal dirge, an internal funeral melody.
Insightful memories on the dark side warn us
Anger and passion, the cusp of nuclear dourness

Letters written in sepia script, a child's scare
In this circumstance, an illustration of despair
A startled, hoary invoice manifests in the mail.
Chaste in Gulag, cognizant of the time roll on stale

Shattering and breaking through the glass box.
The axe grooves on raw wood and blocks.
A misheard song, carefully shattering a splash.
The spear is reflected in the water by a slash.

Hope mirrors shake fate spears to consume.
A rare bedazzlement, a reflection of optimism.
Swords of inertia rattle, eager for consumerism.
But I drudge, unfazed, in this dream, I resume

Where the power of a single act of kindness
Can shatter darkness and bestow brightness.
I walk on, carrying the weight of the past.
But never forget that it won't last.

In this dream, I find solace and peace.
In the midst of chaos, pain, and cease
The blue sky is melting into green.
A symbol of hope, of a raw scene.

Hiya Sharma Date: 9/30/2023 9:07:00 AM Sigh, such an aching and deeply poignant poem with so many vulnerable tones. As always, your rhymes flow in a mellifluous way but there's a melancholic undercurrent in every stanza, that you've so delicately detailed and elaborately deciphered.. "Letters written in sepia script, a child's scare" So haunting and soul stirring! "Playing a dismal dirge, an internal funeral melody' very heartfelt and gloomy.. A dream which turns into a sad reality... An evocative write! Login to Reply
