Sweet Dream

by J. Allen Wilson — Read all 1,629 poems by J. Allen Wilson

Dreams that fail behold a truth that must be freed

Friday, October 31, 2003

  

Lie still sweet dream, and waver not against my plight.


For your sorrows, beget visions of a beguiling.


I stand, I bend, and I cry with supplication, I recoil from fright.


Weary is the saga that holds no tomorrows.


 For a tepid rain has begun to fall and misery climbs the wall.


Creeping like a poisonous viper,


Slithering into a helpless mind. Killing us all.


Save us now is our feeble plea, as we stare into a fearful eternity.


 Oh sweet dream, where now are thee, that you may sustain me?

A fine piece, it impliments language illustriously, with a good mix of concretism and metaphor. Strong closing. It also has an antiquitous feel with a modern styling, which is admirable.

Lie still sweet dream, and waver not against my plight.
For your sorrows, beget visions of a beguiling.
I stand, I bend, and I cry with supplication, I recoil from fright.

Demonstrative that no thought would go unfinished, and the language is built on more than the popular venacular.

Salut.
