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.

Where we lose our fantasy to reality, if we accept it boldly with heart and mind, the reality will no longer threaten but will of itself be the fantasy that we lost. Nice write!

very nice poem

I don't think anyone could say it better...

I have always had trouble dreaming anything remotely realistic, or expecting anything special of life, but I understand the sentiment behind this, and that it's probably occurred to most at some point. Growing up is difficult, especially if you assume that becoming an adult means no more growing up. It's a life-long experience; there will always be things you have to let go of, and it will always be hard. But I presume that growing up knowing exactly what to expect would be equally hard. Very relevant, I think.

You harvest a vast field of truth with these carefully woven words. I cannot impress upon you enough the value I seize with them. I mean...they are more than truth. They are life, at least that is how I perceived them to be,

I couldn't agree more.

This was a great write. I really enjoyed it. I could feel the emotions. I love the way it was written too. I thought you did a nice job conveying your emotions. Good job. Thanks for sharing. :)
