Dream
Every night i laid on my bed,
the moment my eyes closed,
the image of a strange place appeared.
I drifted past the same shore every time,
looking up at the crimson sky,
the two moons that cuddle each other,
and there stood the same castle,
with an unusual aura surrounding it.
I continue towards the castle,
the door opened up,
and the next thing I know,
I was dragged into deep darkness…
A figure appeared in the darkness,
his voice called out for me,
I reached out,
feathers flew into my direction,
as I ran forward.
I saw it,
the black wings of redemption,
the figure turned around,
he smiled at me,
his voice reached out for me again.
and I promise to come again,
he stretched his hand out for me,
and disappeared within the Night of Crimson…
I am back to the reality,
the reality that I never wanted,
in my life…

I liked the ending, about not wanting the reality.

I have a friend who’s a psychologist who would have a lot of fun with this piece, but as a poet I’ll just say wow..
Wonderful as always. Your descriptions are so vivid, but your dream leaves me wondering what it all means and hoping your reality can change.

Reality is what it is all about.. acceptance makes the pain vanish.. Loved the metaphor of castle.. we build so many..in our thoughts..some dark.. some bright.. lets make the brighter ones more..
Thanks!!!! you write so well and deep..
Do visit my page.. I will feel inspired..
I feel the tension between dream and reality in this poem–that experience we have of not wanting to leave a dreamspace. Well done.
