Notes About The Poem

Dream Destiny's Path

(Dare to dream, then achieve; visions evolve as talents grow.) By Poet. 

Grace's ashes are bare, graves made,
last chaos has wiped out our shade,
and, bleakness is a word guide strain.
Train ripples haunt a forlorn brain.

Veiled yet weird by what may impair,
dreams of mayhem and what will bear. 
Shielding truth by false and self-shame, 
irate parts were thrown through in maim. 

Blood-stained eyeballs burst from their loom,
hearts turn purple after their gloom.
Signs of ruin are sketched closer,
Few minutes in cosmos amber. 

I dream to change the way to doom,
eons are snubbed as it, ne'er boom. 
Yonks bygone, time came to a halt. 
Angel of the shade guards the gault.

Valsa George March 29, 2022 at 10:08 PM "I dream to change the way to doom"..... In a weary world, even dreams turn into nightmares ! In a bleak life what we can do most is to dream to change the way to doom. Very powerful write dear friend !

Judy Ball March 29, 2022 at 8:42 PM Many of us have dreams that were never realized because of the fear of trying and failing or because someone else held them back from achieving something that was important to them. Those who don't dream never achieve anything. Follow your dreams. Be all you can be. A fine write my friend. Your poems make the reader think. Nice job. God Bless, JB
