Down with dreams! {AKA: Shattered}

by Dark Secrets   Oct 15, 2012


Like glass upon my soft, cushion floor
they puncture my air born dreams
and send them plummeting further away
where my fingers can only barely touch

Still I ponder upon my future,
which is anything but horrible,
yet I wish to have both of which I can't

I only wish I could compromise with one
for the satisfaction of the other...
Fulfill happiness partially to make me whole,
yet my mind will always embark on the other

Why are my dreams ever so repelling?
Cannot one exist within the same reality
as the other, cannot dimensions entwine?

Sometimes matters of the heart do not comply
with matters of the mind
and the greedy clock in me ticks for a decision

    Great thoughts and great emotions. I think I relate to this poem too much. This poem has been penned with a wise way. You can replace "touch' with 'reach' and 'anything' with 'nothing'.

    One cannot exist within the same reality
    as the other, cannot dimensions entwine?

    To be honest, the presence of a question mark made these two lines understanding questionable. Maybe you mean:

    Can't one exist within the same reality
    as the other, can't it dimensions entwine?

    The title in my opinion should be 'Down with shattered dreams' because only the words in brackets should refer to the form of poetry rather than the specification of the title's constituents.

    This aside, overall this poem is thought provoking and I loved it. It revealed how much wide is your imagination and translating your feelings into penning.

      Thank you for your comment. I will put into consideration the things you have told me. However, when I said "which is anything but horrible" that is what I meant... Both realities that I am to chose from are good; they both can lead to my happiness, but something will always be missing.
