Dream Sequence

an effortless night furnished a personal illusion,

we're together in the zone...

if only for tonight;

 

Uncomplicated dreams...though if truth be told

I had a fusion of interweaving apprehensions,

but still a stronger craving for our passionate desires,

 

your taste buds galvanized as I tempted you with a gourmet of flavors,

then drinking down the grape, we sprawled out...

draped across scattered cushions.

 

 

You knew having read my mind my desire to step outside;

cold night air leaves no impression as we equipped with amusing imaginings...

ignore distant furtive dialogue that leaves us icy cold,

 

whispers give us cause to impart our humor

with tremors of silent laughter...

mouths cloistered – not one giggle could be heard.

 

 

Then! With caution you clutched my hand,

lead me into a cobbled trance

which didn't seem to bother me,

 

 

we wandered down brooding lanes

in a torrent...jumped in puddles,

till once more the stars shone bright,

 

our feet now drenched – needing to dance them dry,

a collection of tunes would have raised our spirits;

till we found our bed where somnolent heads concede,

 

dangling on the edge of dreams where wavelets of visions ripple

across my mind...anything is possible, even when fraught with

hazards...if we're lucky! We'll meet on the other side of sleep.

Hi Jack,

I was inspired to write this from a dream I had and actually managed to write it down as soon as I woke up,  before I forgot about what happened, which is usually the case.

Like you say dreams and poetry often go hand in hand. I like that you thought it slightly psychadelic and trippy, such a nice way of expressing what I was dreaming.

Many thanks for reading and letting me know your thoughts.

Hi Jenny

I thought this poem quite different from others that you have written. It does have a floaty quality about it, which of course ties in with dreaming. Beautifully done.

Hi Jean,

dreams take you away from the day to day rituals. I remember cooking and eating a meal, but it wasn't in my house. After drinking a bottle of wine, my friend and I were quite drunk and stepped outside for some fresh air. There were people walking down the street staring at us and whispering, I couldn't hear what they were saying, but because we were drunk we didn't care and started to giggle, cupping our mouths with our hands and making our way down some lanes, when it started to rain hard leaving puddles of water. We splashed in and out of the puddles, I felt so young again which I usually do in dreams. We realised we were lost as we carried on walking and wanting to sing at the top of our voices. But then my friend disappeared and I became lost wanting to get back to my house, but didn't know the way back, as I wandered the lanes. My friend in my dream I'd not seen for over 30 years, it was all very strange.

Any way I thought I'd explain the poem, in case it was hard to understand. I know poems can be a bit confusing for a reader, it's only the writer that really understands what they're trying to say.

I like that you found it dreamy and floaty, that's nice. Again many thanks for letting me know your thoughts.

Jenny - I had quite missed this one.  Forgive me.

It is so very beautiful, and as for meanings to poetry, in my own experience, poems  are little devils, so to speak, and are only too happy to take on a life of their own.

The structure of this poem enhances its dreamlike mood, and the vocabulary you used, so very colourful, which brings me to the point of dreaming in colour. I know I do, and it seems you do toosmiley

Hope you have a peaceful weekend.
