"dreams In Dreams"

The cracks in the ceiling can't hold back the unseen...
Mirrored fragments dropping slowly, to me its just a dream...
Ageless whispers through the night, in my ears they hum a song...
Trampled desires and distant promises were never really that wrong...
So I dust off this paper to give it essence and a purpose to this life...
Where my thoughts can lay and swim free and one day take flight...
The days will pass and the story told of man who found his heart...
But as this journey undertakes ,some will be left or just fall apart...
I lay on my bed and watch the ceiling fan spin,as the clock ticks away...
My eyes shall close and I will dream in black and white with clearer
words to say...

A wonderful poem Michael, it reminds me a little of the things we should cherish before they die off or leave. A man alone with his thoughts, I wonder how much passion or comfort he is ready to give. When he has to face the new moment. If only that ceiling fan could spin reverse, and give meaning to the promises and desires. ANd free any mans heart to feel the emotions that flow. Enjoyed your poem,..p.d.
