Poem Artwork

~Dream World ~


 


Drifting into that void


a dream world that is in-between


conscious thought


and fragmented remembrances


Old memories come flooding in


to mingle with the new


tangling in a downward spiral


Thoughts of your new dreams


get pushed aside when you are helpless


not on guard


the old ones come knocking


tantalizing, taunting, teasing you again


Those dreams you hold at bay


creep in like


lost lovers from before


invading, interfering blending


with your current ones


Confusing longing for what was


with a hunger for what could be


as you struggle to differentiate


between fragmented dreams images


and reality


Knowing that dreams


can’t keep you warm at night


or answer passions call


as your subconscious tries to awake


escaping


this disconcerting dream world

Reviewed on July 28, 2005

On a deep dive through the sea of imagination, "Dream World"
depicts the emotions and the feelings of a
psycho-physiological dream.

I have learned from the reading of "Dream World". It offers an intriguing, enchanting reading.

Long Blissful Creative Life, Poet!

You really have these dream sequences spot on, Carole!
When it happens like that it is unsettling to say the least...
Excellent write well perceived!
