Kill The Lights

Just something that came to mind. Randomly.

Reality is a murderer

Killing all childhood fantasies

Once frozen in a timeless treasure

Filled in cup of yesterday's wonders.

 

We kill the lights and the show begins

No more coins tossed in the wishing wells

Of hope, as reality fades away

No more wishes will come true.

 

In life's mysterious fate,

There is no prince to be your saviour

Whisper this all a dream, sealed with a kiss
To awaken your eternal slumber.

 

As the threat of dawn approaches

All fantasies and dreams fade

Into the black abyss of the night

And it all becomes another yesterday.

"In life's mysterious fate,
There is no prince to be your saviour
Whisper this all a dream, sealed with a kiss
To awaken your eternal slumber."~ This is one awesome stanza!!! I love the drama of this write...you appeal to the mystery of the dark... Nice write!

I loved reading this poem! It is so beautifully written! So true about reality, it does seem to take our hopes away, and I just love the way you expressed it all.
My favorite stanza is the second one, for some reason :) but the whole poem is just wonderful.

Maybe we may lose some dreams and hope to reality. A wise person hold in tight to old dreams and desire. If we all give up. We will all be like cattle waiting for the slaughter. Better to be a wolverine who will die before giving in. I like the desire and the flow of emotion in this poem. A strong ending to a excellent poem.

Loved the line "And it all becomes another yesterday." Time that flows onward continuously beyond our control. Wonderful write.

The paradoxical relation of reality and fantasy. I try to fuse the two sometimes. A beautiful poem.
