~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


He dreams in color,
Examining symbolic stratums
and intrinsic definition,

sinuously revealing a systemic
Shout of cranial exposition

His scar-ridden perspective
depicts a phantasmagoric
montage of deformed teardrops

as short-lived bursts of euphoria
Blend into an alchemical potion
of thought and emotion

His gut reaction
celebrates mental character,
Not concerned
with the judgment of planetary populace,
Or echelon of poetic validity

Even when awake,
his dreams are chronicled
by a membrane he can never really consider his own,
Or be allowed to adhere to

Still, tonight he’ll surrender to slumber
Forgetting what he always remembers

How he is sleeping
with all eyes open

Like an inexplicable creature
in some far-flung galaxy made of dreams

I could go on and on but will simply say: purely marvelous, purely Jude.

The Spirit never sleeps... just bides it's time until release, which, coming at this backwards from your next Arrival poem, goes to show. These two poems self-reflect, it seems to me, and bear each other up and out. The one stems from the other. I like to think of the pupa image... within the seeming cocoon is not one physiological being "magically" assuming a totally different structure... but instead a liquid mass, assuming a total meltdown status before metamorphosing. It's the old deconstruct to reconstruct thing. A good place. For some reason, perhaps the diction, reminds me of a couple of poems from MIM... Blood Of My Muse and Blood Dreams, I think. Probably the membrane thing. See you on another shore, Kartero. Go placidly. Love forever, Kate xx

Aren't dreams a most unique entity?
An image-filled poetic description, Jude!

I've slept many a night with my head "ON" and my eyes open and yet...still have to reach over when the alarm goes off as though I'm awakening from a deep sleep.
sweetdreams Jude.
Blessings and love,
Susan

The intertwined realm between sleep and being awake can sometimes be blurred by vision that remain in the back drop of our minds. Most inspiring piece...

Be always safe,

I keep thinking 'Eyes Wide Shut', but I think you poem is a metaphor for a death of endless dreams.

The dream world is exciting as we learn that we are being taught by it........the problem being that as we awaken in our bodies.......memories fade.......and we know we knew something but what was it?

...perhaps the subconscious...always dreams...whether asleep or awake...and awaken distractions...steal their reality...while daydreams become real...always eyes open.
well done Jude...

This character though seemingly on the dark side...also comes off as being slightly vunerable as he lurks in the shadows...it seems more for protection of the world's evils.

Jude,

Very futuristic write. I seem to dream in black and white. Dreams need not be in HD to be real. Peace, Love and Blessings Always, Paul.

Enterprise's Spock could be the one explicating this one, he has a few of those on his planet, here? God forbid, NO!!!!!!!!!!!
The words, the metaphores, the twisting of our thoughts this poem does are the work of a poet in a kaleidoscopic world of dreams.
