What is lurking in the recesses of your mind? Peaking around darkened corners. Sometimes you see it the most when it’s in a dream form. When the body is ruled by it’s subconscious and rules of thought fade and sway out the door.
So let’s get deeper.
Let’s write a poem based on a dream. Doesn’t matter what kind of dream (daydream, nightmare, fever dream etc…) Make it interesting. Take us into your mind for a piece. We’ll leave bread crumbs so we won’t get lost.
Be sure to share with us your poem either by linking back to this post or copying it directly into the comments. Can’t wait to read what you come up with.
Hope you have a great week and happy writing!
The Reverie 
This was an actual dream – nightmare – I had a few months back.
“Some Dreams”
Some dreams are
harder to shake.
when i’m standing
in our home, seeing
the chip in the countertop
and the scraped paint
on the doorways.
the dust on the floor
and the wrinkles on
the bed where you
lay there with her.
I open my mouth to
speak and no words
escape. Not that you’d
have heard them with your
face buried in her hair.
Some dreams are
harder to shake.

Dissolving
Your gaze falls on me
like drops of rain
on a parched earth
Your voice
plays my senses
like a finely tuned violin
Your touch is as soft
as the silken petals
of a rose
Your kiss as sweet
as the nectar
of blossoms
I reach out
to hold you close
and find only air
I open my eyes
You are the dream
that dissolves
every day
