Dreamer's Reality

This is a new work in progress for me. Yes I was feeling a bit dark and a wee bit pensive... hope you get it.


Dreamer's Reality

There are day's I sit and wonder,
Is this really all there is?...
With love and sex and pain and life...
Is this all there really is?...

I once thought I had found love, wrapped up
as a lovely gift.
But alas, it belonged to someone else,
... and so it always will.

I once thought I found wisdom floating through
the amber sky,
So brilliant and decadent... I stared
and I went blind.

I once thought I had found pleasure,
filled with fantasy and 'why'
But then it was a puppet masquerading as a ... lie.

I once felt so accomplished, so feral and so verbose.
But then I was forced to wake up and realize...
I was alone.

And so the tides of question continue to capsize
...and obliterate our optimism our fate and our dull smiles.

But for each moment of darkness,
there needs to be some light.
For without the insistence of balance,
... the scales would have no plight...

END.

#MyLifeAsAHuman - Entry# 984 - My Symphony

I'm sitting here gazing out into a world of possibility and purpose and I chide myself for being a coward sometimes.  I get mad at myself for doubting as much as I do, for hesitating and finding excuses. I look back and remember when I was a fearless dreamer, blatant in my belief, obnoxious in my certainty.... And I wonder.... Where did she go? Where did that girl go? Was she killed off by cynicism? Knocked down by reality.... Captured by adulthood? Defeated by life?... I shake my head, for it is better than hanging it in shame. I steady myself for the mourning of my past self.... And I think... Am I but a shell of my former self? Void of truth and inspiration?  Am I so empty a vessel that my noise is nothing but a deafening yet unnoticeable silence?... These are my fears that nip at my confidence, that drown my rising strength. These are the fears I hold on to, to feed my pity party and excuse myself from wanting... From dreaming... From doing. These are ...

#MyLifeAsAHuman - Free-Style-Friday

I saw you today, Crystal clear and 3D visionscape in my mind... Entangling me in your armour... Devouring me with your smile. I am nestled now in your bosom, peaceful and serene like a new born babe, having no part in being pried from your arms. Refusing to let this moment escape me. You kiss me gently on my forehead and rock me slow and steady like a mother bringing comfort to a child and I am whisked away to a place of severe contentment... That leaves me sated and sublime. I have had visions of you all my life I am sure. Never certain of what this yearning really meant... Never sure of how I should pursue it's interpretation.... Rather I sat and let the vision of what you were... In my head.... Grow and blossom into what you meant... To me. Now I am still and breathing and feeling you enclose me with your tenderness and warmth and I find myself overwhelmed with tear-streaked cheeks and a grateful heart. Emotions have become exposed and raw in their expression and I am left ...
