Best Dreamings Poems


Praise

Hell belches out more black-hearted ballads
                     than the accord of heaven that releases
                 only the innocent and wafting
                        lofty dreamings of a population 
               unversed in the ways of emotion. 

      They simper and insipidly bow and release
                delicate praises to the air as perfume... oh joyful
       white roses. Sweetly sing with your monotonous harpischords.

Not we.

           We are the fire in the blackest midnight...
              the mud that births monsoons of a terrible beauty.
        We tremble lest our own fire overtake us, we are the torrents
                  that pain your face with every gleefull beat.

               We are the dreamers of dreams.

     We are lovers, burning holes in sheets of purity and 
                invincible morality... we scream and shiver to our toes...
         oh haunting electricity.

          We are intense anger... the fury of emperors untold... 
     we shatter our enemies into the oblivion they beg for mercy
             fists bulging, contorted eyes stinging from the battle. 

         We are howls of bitter triumph, the sweet partakers of the
                lost cause. We are brazen to the thought. 

        We are the aroma of sadness that arises from the blackest pit, 
                                we are the oppression that snuffs out the candle. 
                     We praise from the very depths of our cavernous abyss
            our own masochistic knowledge... the fiery knowledge that burns us
                          as we consume ourselves.

Premium Member The Voice Within

The Voice Within.

Somewhere in the depths of me,   in a place I cannot find.
    There lies the seed of longing,    for that to which I’m blind.
I feel it dwells within me   and every now and then,
    Nudges my sensitivities   and bids me,  seek again.

It comes not from the body   not a feeling or desire,
    Nor a mood   or temperament,   but it consumes like fire.
It’s power,   soft and subtle   engulfs me as a mist,
   Demanding my attention   as would a maidens kiss.

After a while the attack is gone,   though still I’m not at peace,
   For somewhere in the depths of me   that longing still exists.
For many years it has been so   I’ve always had the choice,
   To disregard material desires    and seek that gentle voice.

Is it the voice of wisdom,   am I not to understand.
   Or the dreams from eons ago   of prehistoric man?
Or does the yearning come to mock me,   staying out of reach.
   Should I surrender all   and allow solitude to teach?

It bids me. “Change your ways,   find a quiet and peaceful place.
   Cast aside the wasteful doubt  that keeps you in the race.
For time is long and life is short    when they are side by side,
   To live a lie will come to nought   at the turning of the tide”.

  But deep within  I do perceive   that the answer lay,
   Not within the books I read   or dreamings in the day.
It’s here   within the eternal soul   that joins us all as one,
   Without whose love that boundless void would not be overcome.

Still   the fire is there,   the feeling of something missed.
   'Tis a flame that can’t be smothered,   while ever I exist.
It dwells and glows   inside of me,  though just a gentle flame.
   And waits   until my searching   brings on an attack again.

And I cannot help but search   for there is barely an interlude,
   Between  the whispers of that voice,   “You’ll find me in solitude.”
My ignorance sustains me    the battle won through lack of courage,
I stay here in my comfort zone    and search the books for knowledge.

Days to weeks and weeks to months   the months turn into years,
   and still I read and procrastinate, and wrap myself in fears.
The day will come   my life will end,   and the other side,
   The answer I’ll find   and then I’ll know   we should trust our guide.

Sleepwalker

Sleepwalker


And in the darkest sweeping wings is held all probable
The night of dreamings; wished embraces of gossamer senses ponder miracles 
And leave their mark; ever in hope....

She is waiting

Pale in naked moon lit sexual stretches
Fanning shadows curve on satins anguished blue
To subtle bronzed drips rusted rivers
Lay about her in ever flowing delta’s of hair

These the coy covers of shoulders demure beneath their lifting expectation
Quintessence supplicant to floating hands; risen
Her slow beat thumps on a sudden heart
The fleur-de-lis arched beseeching the avid prayer of lips

The floorboards creek

And though through empty rooms the sighs may roam
Though forever it seems she has lain alone
There are eyes, by bat wing devised; by the caverns urgent aphrodisia
He has been gathered by the corpuscle of desire, to come to her

And by each and every silent unspent moan of longing
He inscribed this hours, fretful, reflections of her mantle parted
An eternal caress folded; ingress to her concupiscent heart
Mere Luna beams of dreams of loves physique, his love, made love to her

Dawns dissipation breaths

Remembering the warmth before forgotten days; where separated so
Bathes her awash in amber fire; and traces his finger along her spine
To leave her sleeping in those somnambulist foot prints
Looses in the languid illusive of arms, wrapped in suns breaking

Turning to the light he asks for its edifice, hold fast on waking 
Struggle to define by wanting the irrevocable kiss; pressed to her
A taste recited by those gossamer senses ponder miracles
And leave their mark; forever in hope

It Was a Dark and Stormy Night

A flash lit up the sky,
As thunder grumbled by the rain,
My heart lay gripped with pain,
My mind going insane this way,
Hot and cold air at play,
While dreamings drift and sway around,
The wayward thoughts abound,
Where love dared not be found instead,
The dreams came in my head
And in this storm to bed I’ll go,
For wonderings I know
Allow not love to grow within,
For fear that would be sin,
Yet thunder, my chagrin, still roars
As lightning kissed rain pours
Cleansing the muddied floors of why!

Premium Member Expect Changes

Expect changes that you know will
Grow this love in time.
Expect these changes which are not dreaded
But open each of our hearts like ROSE buds.

Expect changes of a FRANTIC  BRIDE 
Waiting for her groom.
The types of changes which tips its hat to
An autumn afternoon.
Expect  fiery changes that may consume
Each OF our hearts in flames
One belove to another expect these  changes
Of subtle pains that come  with torrential rains.

Expect changes of social madness at a spring
Wedding of bliss when kissed.
Now seasons turning with a twist.
And all is fair on a SUMMER AFTERNOON.
Expect changes which may stay 'til the 
Festive  SPARK OF JUNE.

When all has  SIMMERED and is fancy and
Steamy acknowledge  these days  as
Fine and  DREAMY,  then the laughter of 
Spring and summer mingle when 
Autumn  touches and more to tingle.
Soon winter rushes in a disguise at first,
A slow falling snow.

Exceeding the joy I hoped for.
Akin to hungry waves licking the OCEANS 
GLADDENING SHORE.
Expect changes with impossible meanings 
And  FAIR WEATHER DREAMINGS.

I Can Remember Time of Wonder By Alexander Pushkin

I can remember time of wonder
when you appeared before my eyes
like fleeting vision like a thunder,
pure queen of beauty and sunrise.

In tiresome longing of despair
in noisy troubles of ado
your tender voice was in my air
I saw sweet dreamings about you.

Years passed. A riot of rebellion 
dispelled these dreamings of the past
I heard your tender voice so seldom
Your skyey features almost passed.

In wilderness of gloomy prison
I spent my very quiet days
without a deity and reason
to cry, to live, to love, to blaze.

And soul awakened with the wonder
and you are here before my eyes
like fleeting vision, like a thunder,
pure queen of beauty and sunrise.

In ecstasy my heart left prison
I have my deity and your face
inspires me. That is the reason
to cry, to live, to love, to blaze.

Tiddliwink

Tiddliwink does step the grass,
Bats a wink at curls that pass.
Tiddliwink then twirls around,
Happy in the world he's found.

Tiddliwink then dances light,
Twinkledee him sees---a sight!
Tiddliwink and Twinkledee,
Twirling, swirling, oh so free!

Blue to black eyes, black to blue,
Pass their dreamings, catch them, too!
Far from sadness, lost from pain,
Tiddli-Twinkle break the chain!

Tin cans kick they, stones let fly,
Whisk on waters, skip so high!
Trees they climb a-top the ridge,
Awed with trucks that leap the bridge!

Tiddli now forgets his Twink,
In his future he does drink;
Cares not Twinkle, she thinks, too;
Years of sunsprays splash on through.

Tiddliwink now swings to earth;
Twink fall-follows, but not hurt.
Twinkle, lying out so, fair,
Tiddli grows up man right there.

Birds 'gin sing, sing winds at ease;
Sings the earth for loves like these!
Tiddli-Twinkle, matched with sun,
Catch the meaning: light has won!

Star Gazing and Future Night Dreamings
      

I the gazer,that so admire glimmering stars on summer nights
Transfixed, and burning deeply from each beckoning call;
Sky filled with such divine and twinkling galactic sights,
A most beautiful blessing gifted to inspire humans one and all
Stand I briefly, on an earthly and lonesome glistening plane;
With mighty oceans that hold great mysteries and golden treasures;
Yet the sky's brilliant shining wonders keep me sane,
And are by far one of my admired and greatest pleasures.

Forests that rest beneath that glittering starlight glow,
Are beauties that need its far illuminating lights,
Glimmering stars on summer nights, show more than we may know;
As we in wonder, see infinity in sparkling, starry heights;
Out there far into eternity's vast reaching infinite shores,
We may yet find our destiny upon another earthly realm,
For our great dreams and future hopes are not sold in stores;
Nor achieved by sailing ships with no captain at the helm.

And man, that found great use for galactic posts to navigate.
May yet in his heart, far away, conquer his weakness of hate!

Waterfall Echoes

The waterfall flows
  reflected in the rays of the sun
as if they were diamonds in brilliant glow
 with clarity only temporary in the water's run.
The humid air clusters along the layered stones
  misting the algae growth green and thick
a mini forest clustering the edge where it has grown
  allowing the water to flow fast and slick.
A streaming rhythm in its secluded dance
  echoing the close of seasons
that easily comes and goes in metamorphic trance 
  and the change returns holiday dreamings.
A momentary pause, the hike, the campers walk
  reveals beauty and imagery beyond compare
with whispered awes and friendly talk
  gives rise to outdoors enticements if we dare.

Young Enough

These words come out of my pen
and I remember when
I was young enough to believe
that the world just might
stop turning
the stars just might
start falling
if I could just capture this feeling
on this cold, white page.
When I was young enough to believe
that I could make a happy ending
to this tale
if I wrote about it
the right number of times
that everyone was interested in
a young girl's
heartsick rhymes
when I was young enough to believe
that magic really existed
and that life was more than some
sick rat's maze
without any cheese at the end.
These words come out of my pen
and I try to comprehend
just how I got this grown-up
how I ever got to meet my pals
cynicism and jaded laughter.
For that young girl of hardly more
than one year's worth
of long ago
doesn't live here anymore
I've lost those bright-colored gel pens
she used to write those
hopeful dreamings
she'll make an appearance with
sunscreen and hot dogs
but more often than not
I can remember when
and I can try to comprehend
but these words that come out of my pen
aren't even a residual echo of
when I was young enough to believe
that my words really mattered.

Premium Member Your Love

You are love that's ceaseless 
With love you've defined 
Each moment love's been told 
With blessings I know. 

Echoes of thoughts  I have 
Awakenings and dreamings of love; 
Light of heaven so shining 
Through portals of love that will flow. 

Cast shadows so bright and so grand 
With love that will get us through, 
With dreams to make them come true 
This world belongs to me and you. 

With each approaching new day 
Your heart and mine are forever entwined.

Constipated Thought

Every now and then,the words once easy flowing
 hold back from revealing what I'm knowing
 and lost I am to where this poem was going..

Building in significance
 the words are lost to all innocence
release is a failure of intended diligence
 and I'm trapped in my losing indifference.

Perhaps a laxative would work as a stimulus,
 release and expel me from this chrysalis,
provide some imagery of dreamings less frivolous
 excuse me while I get a little mischievous.
 
In this intense consternation
 every word lies in constipation
 seeking is rigidly intensified
and proceeds with force and agitation
 as the thoughts remain anesthetized.

Temperature Drop

All in lies
and to hope betrayed
this human prayer
in requests of faith
holds the precipice to its heart

All divest by such noncommittal love
all broken by the dreamings of
but to its feet lays petition
for the signatures of psychopaths

All becomes contrary to the heart
endorsement beneath threat
to stand alone
with all this frigid hate

Corpses by numbers capitulate
compiled in easy flippant verbiage
designates a willful slaughter
for all the love of peace
and with petty price elucidate
the why-fores agony
wherefores impartiality 
signed away by sociopaths

So all becomes this frigid hate
and ruled by the secular dictators of death
a human prayer
in requests of faith
holds the precipice to its heart

Law of Imagination

As I drift between the
wakings of the real world
and the dreamings of the faux pas,
my mind begins to...wander
onto things more trivial.

"Did I forget to clean the toaster?
Is the sink still on?
Was that glass resting on a coaster?"
My mind wanders on and on.

Thoughts progress more philosophically,
as I wonder,
"Is world-wide peace a viable reality?"

Visions begin to blur together, as my mind lays down to rest,
As I yawn (begrudgingly), thinking "Did I pass that Biology test?"

And of the rest?

As I drift between the wakings of the real world
and the dreamings of the faux pas,
I realize,
"It is here that I belong,
it is here that imagination is law."
