Vanishing Dreams

A disenchanted lover paints life with a frugal brush. For hiding in the shadows, Love eludes understanding. Smiles can't camouflage the fears, that accompany spilled tears. And navigating blindly; trust, pursues fantasy dreams. In a cocoon of sadness, Love fails to metamorphose. And your heart spins silken threads into a dream catcher's web. Abruptly caught in mid-flight, dreams arrive on broken wings. Yet, accompanied by joy, console disillusioned hearts. While love rides the winds of fate to the heart of hope's flower, and sips the nectar of truth.

This is nicely built, Emile. This butterfly has given dreams wings, making it possible for them to come true and thus disperse disenchantment. // paul

There is a lot of depth to the metaphors you incorporate here. Dreams so often caught in mid flight arriving on broken wings ... wow. Hasty in our decisions to grab it too soon, it shatters ... but maybe one can take the broken pieces and make a mosaic as compensation. Loved the abstractness, and the way this poem took me places. Thanks.
