Recurring dreams

by Melissa   Sep 28, 2006


My dreams are irrational
beyond the ability to rationalize
or control
and this heart is willingly able
to fall in love with a mystery
even though mind
is entirely aware
of reality existing quietly

My soul is laden with intuition,
but her shadow refutes
and she just won't follow me
around the playground

anymore

I'm just a frivolous theory
born from a passionate seed
that perpetually pines belonging
to something more
than meaningless chit chat
about life's daily bores
and cynics ornery prophecies
of hopelessness and valiums

I know truth can be messy
when spoken irreverently,
so my honesty seeks riddles
to falsify the certainty
of love disappointing

again

And this sleepy reverie
has become more substantial
than anything
I've ever felt before

So why deny
irrationality,
if it's not hurting anyone,
but myself?

    Wow.This has qualities of reality and surreality.Dreams and life don't always match-never stop dreaming, hoping, no matter how mundane life is.This is written so well-slightly different than your usual style.It seems you have a great capacity for love and hope that you are waiting to come true-trust me, sometimes when you aren't seeking love, it finds you.I have faith that love and happiness will find such a beautiful soul as yours eventually.You are special, your poems show that,Have faith in love, in yourself, in life.I love the metaphors and honesty in it. The ending is very good.

    Peace, Poetry, & Power,
