To love a vision that has yet to be seen
To hold close a song that has yet to be sung
The insanities that define my current state
I’d breathe in the very melody that seeps from the existence
of the light that radiates from your burning heart
Licking dry the ice melting from lakes once frozen
while holding tight the very universe in the palm of my hand
Dream away my sweet mystique
The blind premonitions that hold you to me
Leaving me in a sea of smiles
I’ll lean back and fall quietly into the pool
Head under water though it seems so calm
Don’t let me breathe in...
Just let me fall..
Drowning in the life-giving essence that defines it all
Author notes
Have you ever wondered if the things you dream are meant to be reality and if the things contained within aren't just figments of your imagination..

I read this book on lucid dreaming one time. One of the techniques it described was to constantly say to yourself, in your waking hours..."am I awake right now?" So that if you got into the habit of doing this every 10 minutes or so...eventually...you would ask yourself the same question during your sleeping hours. And then, finally the answer would be "no! I'm dreaming!..." and then from there you'd be able to take control of your subconcious, and go to town. Lucid Dreaming...
That being said...I thought this poem had a very dreamlike quality...but to me it was more about the dream of finding that perfect person or thing...as opposed to actually sleep-dreaming. Quite lovely. -
When you ask the question I just say to myself...Yes...I do wonder about dreams and reality. I actually understand the request to not let me breathe in. Sometimes breathing in breaks the preception that has become our reality. we really need to live our dreams in the present...it beats dreaming our dreams in the past. A very good write as usual. There is a reason you are on my favorites and this is a fine example. Your words touch and speak and live!

hey, this is really really cool. i love the images and ideas in here...even if they re sort of...dream-like, but i guess that was kinda the idea, and it just makes the poem all that much cooler.
Leaving me in a sea of smiles
