THE WEAVER OF DREAMS

the scope in a turning view

ties the hands high over hues

embodies a mask of black

a sticky webbed deceit

stretched over eyes

plays mean for a wicked need

an intricate motion is the catch

shrewd dominates the luminesce

flickers of surrender are devoured

creates a tangled flux

tears of a flower lost in color

cluster in pale beams

sight slivers in reflection

the shine climbing a slide

slips through the mind

hums a childhood rhyme

steps over time so far

singing a wish upon a star

a joyous scatter for chairs

circle to stop is the anxious feed

tricked in a play for keeps

recruits a ball for a chain

conspires a passion to redeem

aims high and jumps beyond

slows to a falling speed

the heart of an arrow

beeline threw a target

buries deep a sharp point

passes screams in between

patches of a quilt lacking seam

ever sleeps the weaver of dreams

This one feels like being in that relationship where you think you would both be going somewhere in life and it just doesn't happen. You start off on a high note aiming for the stars and it all just spirals out of control, and you really wish you hadn't done that.
That's how I relate to it anyway lol
good poem as usual, lots of respect.

Edizen, you have a wonderful creative thought process weaving through my words. The things I was holding on to when I wrote this have to do with how people make their own dreams-capes, prisons, fears,joys and more. There are pieces and pictures from different stages of life, good and bad that stay in our thoughts. The clouds of emotions and horrors we may pass through to find our dreams. I labor over words often so I may find the imagery I wish to portray the emotional pull I hope to achieve. I am thrilled that this draws a creative web of images unique to you. Thank you for taking the time to read and leave a beautiful review.

you're a master weaver of words and imagery. i could read your writing forever and never tire. course if i did, i would be lulled into a blissful dream-state. another world or dimension ... :)

[TerryDarcy-Ryan akaSheerTerror]

Pete, as simple as the process is yes we all extend life into our dream world or do we have any power there at all. I am afraid the possibilities are endless and we are powerless. I am always happy to see your review. Thank you

Wonderful use of words my friend.
"tears of a flower lost in color
