James Fraser Poet Sonnet

When Dreams Collide

I entered my dream amidst a lavender grassy plain
I realised looking up that the skies are not the same
Orange to yellow patterns as if in cotton wool collage
Blood red horizons in compass as I view my dreams mirage

A noise captures my ears as I turn to view from where
Upon an orangey maned zebra, what I see leaves me stare
She, with Tiger stripes and naked, breasted so heavenly
To the cotton clouds she looks, with a raven so beautifully

My mind now hears cloven hooves, as if beating on the ground
Now many approach from distance, floating, now I'm in surround
The skies begin to darken, blood red horizons seen before
So surreal amidst this lavender, through an alternate back door

Whilst the raven gently hovers she turns her eyes to me
In complexed look of amaze, I think what does she see

Tim B July 27, 2011 at 5:58 PM Your first line captures, your last line makes me ponder. What more can we ask from poetry than to be stimulated in such a way, beautiful poem James.
