Notes About The Poem

 

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.” —Pablo Neruda

I Dream

I have a dream, 
To escape the grip of solitude's extreme, 
Soaring high on wings of joy, it seems, 
In my mind, this dream forever gleams, 
A beautiful mirage in life's vast scheme.

I have a dream, 
A love so profound, like a flowing stream, 
A partner's shadow, a cherished team, 
In my heart, our love shall beam, 
A soul intertwined, a mutual dream.

I have a dream, 
To find a love that's more than it may seem, 
Through trials and pains, a love supreme, 
Hand in hand, a world we'll redeem, 
Venturing into the unknown, like a vivid dream.

At times, reality merges with my dream's regime, 
Hope shines bright, like a lighthouse's beam, 
Yet, in the stormy sea of emotions, I deem, 
Hope may fade, like a distant dream, 
But as a sailor, I'll hold to hope's redeem.

A castaway on a lonely shore, it may seem, 
Dreams my only refuge, my heart's bloodstream, 
I'll keep dreaming on, like a timeless theme, 
For if dreams fade, like a lost sunbeam, 
I'll wither away, like a sea shell in the ocean's gleam.
