Jaded Dreams

by *Charisma*   Feb 24, 2007


Just another night with faded dreams
And usually I'd enjoy them, but not now.
Don't you know they conclude in disaster?
Everything ends with you leaving,
Dying, and there's nothing I can do.

Dreadful little nightmares in pink ribbons
Reappearing as something good,
Ending in something horrible.
As always, I lose you. Watch you go again.
My mind can't take these jaded dreams.
Spare me reality while I sleep.

    Wow, so short but so powerful ! I love the imagery in this, I could almost see the dreams and someone just tossing and turning so afraid to fall asleep..been there, done that; not an easy thing to do. I love this piece, keep it up.

    5.5

    I loved loved loved this poem! You do an excellent job on freeverse...and I like seeing you do different things. And the symbolism in this is amazing, especially the pink ribbons. The whole mood of the poem was just suberb! And I think it's cool how you say
    -Spare me reality while I sleep-
    If I couldn't truly dream while I slept I would go insane...dreams are definately a safe haven that most could never do without. Great job! :) 5/5 as always!
