Surreal

"Between amber light of twilight and rendered dark
 profound silence is found"...poet


In a dim-lit realm where dreams are surreal
   time has no meaning
pictures move in continuous motion
and the mind travels in a dream state realm of awareness
in this ethereal place, you appeared as a vision
to fill the barren shore of my soul with yours
where we wandered on the edge of life
   as it drifted by
while we glimpsed the universe, before the ebb tide
   pulled us from shore
to the far horizon of imagined sunsets
that hung like a wispy curtain
before a darker sense of being
flowed towards us filled with stars
   that we gathered
to hold in the palms of our hands
as we circled the reflecting moon
   of wondrous wishes
where we surrendered ourselves
   with the fervor of lovers
drowning in ardent corners of our souls
in tender mystical moments of magic
soaked in a sea of enchantment
where the intimacy of dreams binds us
in a spiritual, peaceful, harmony
   of sensual sighs and serenity
inviting a breathtaking eternal bliss
   of aromatic blooms
from the light of our souls
that covered the shore in a blanket of sea lavender
   that stayed in my mind
long after my dream fell away
and vanished with the shaded realms of wonder

Frederic, this is a captivating journey! The imagery is mesmerizing, transporting me into the dreamlike world you create. The lines, "the barren shore of my soul" filled with yours, are deeply touching. The ending with the "sea lavender" lingering is a beautiful touch, leaving a sense of wonder and longing. A vibrant dreamscape! - Blessings, Daniel
