Dreams

Are we really just living moments within our minds, or do we escape the world and take to the skies?

I’ve bade the moon a well “Good-Bye”

And left the world within my mind.

I carried secrets far away

Into the stars I made my way.

 

Left behind all pain and sorrow

Flew across the broken morrow

To the sunset I could so see

There’s more to learn from mystery.

 

Without a doubt I fell from sky

Wingless, I learned to fly

Soaring over broad horizons

Feeling the warmth of Light.

 

The Sun rose high into the sky

Woken up by warm surroundings

This dream of mine…

To this day my heart’s still pounding.

This is really a marvellous poem with such a flamboyant touch in the verses and beatific in yhe diction which carries the reader to your very dream which seems so bright and with new challenges. I lovesd the way you have penned it. The image is quite impeccable for this piece as well. Lovely write. Thanks for sharing!!

I love this. It's very other worldly. A journey away from the physical to a kinder place of dreams.

I love the way this flows, and the rhyming was great.

[Michael Thrower]

Thank you! I was hoping to produce a great rhyme with this poem. I always respect rhyming in poems and I am very pro-rhyme. So that means a lot to me. Thank you :)

yer i think they sound more poetic when they rhyme :)

A very unique and imaginative poem, and one that leaves the door open for interpretation or deep reflection at the least. I've read it a few times, and different images have come to mind with each reading. Great work :)

[Michael Thrower]

Thank you very much :) I was really just wanting to make a poem with rhyme and rhythm once again, but it turned out to be this. I'm glad so many people are liking it. Again, thank you so much for your time.

This poem is visually stunning and sweet. It carries a certain charm that I find incredibly endearing. I do love it.

Nice piece. Keep on the good work

This is a wonderful, wonderful poem. I read the review on the bottom and frankly speaking, I did not perceive the idea you were trying to put across board, because the way you put this poem forward meant something entirely different to me. Especially these lines
*To the sunset I could so see,
There’s more to learn from mystery.*
Totally mystifying.
Hope to read more of you. :D

[Michael Thrower]

Thank you so much! I'm very thrilled to know you enjoyed it, and I hope it speaks differently to everyone who reads it. I try to write my poems so each reader can take what they personally see from it.

That was also one of my favorite lines while I wrote the story. It's exciting to know someone liked it as much as I did. Thank you again :)

[Alia ZJ.]

I am sure it will.
You're very welcome. :D
Do send me a read request when you post something new. :)

[Michael Thrower]

Likewise to you :)

"Without a doubt I fell from sky

Wingless, I learned to fly"

What a gorgeous poem. Lovely imagery and great theme.
Well done :)

[Michael Thrower]

Thank you :) I tried to make something mildly beautiful this time, so the concept of dreaming and "leaving your own body and world" to fly through the stars was my idea.

[annabellee]

you're most welcome :)
and you've succeeded
