To Dream (Collab)

by Meme & nouriguess   Jun 21, 2012


They told me.

They did tell me that
a body cannot succumb twice
and that a dead rose wouldn't
ever smell of something too
immortal.

They told me.

They did tell me that
poetry never likes to explain;
time rarely gives an excuse
and love never does.

Reveries always found me
there at the edge of every
moonrise.

And they told me ..

.. they did tell me that
Selene isn't truly existed,

Still,

I told them.

I did tell them that
sometimes I feel like
dragging the shadows
of time, so close that
it blurs my reflection.

I told them.

I did tell them that
I can reinvent languages,
but words can never
resurrect a flat line.

I did tell them that
Selene might not touch
my fingertips but that
won't stop me from kissing
her memory at night.

    Awesome collab guys!!!

    I like the repetition of this piece as it plays a part in expressing what you are trying to convey. There's a touch of sadness here because I can feel that you are talking about death as well as life.

    Seriously loved it!

    Yes, This is AMAZING....

    It is seriously just sooo smooth and I cannot find anything I'd change, nothing that doesn't fit...

    I love the simple title, it gives a false sense of what the poem is...for the title doesn't do the piece justice, as that it is so damn good...Love that.

    Reveries always found me
    there at the edge of every
    moonrise.

    ^^^I love this part...I guess it is Noura's words for it reminds me of her...but the whole piece is so damn fabulous

    Great work girls
