Song Of A Dream

I am very intrigued by the mind and its capabilities. You don't have to understand, for I myself do not yet know the possibility of my imagination...

The raven cries with sadness

And I grin with mad delight

While I listen to my heartbeat

And I laugh into the night

Nobody knows what I mean

Minds closed and wide open

To the memories of pleas

Starlight guides my path

As I stare into my soul

I cackle with hysteria

And I start to lose control

Love is not all that it seems

Tired hearts start beating

To the music of the screams

Fire burns inside my body

Tears of darkness fall

Colors have no meaning

And I can not feel at all

Shadows are my friend it seems

Melodies surround my ears

To the song of a dream

Imagination knows no limit, no boundaries, and no constraints. Some people are afraird of those with great imagination cause they find them hard to understand. So they push them away, drive them mad, and force them hide within their dreams. But in the end of the day, imagination, if you let it, will take you to places that you'd otherwise never go!
An amazing poem. Dark, deep, sincere, and beautiful. The closing lines are magic! Very well done Hannah. Thank you for sharing it and keep on writing.

A clever device to switch between stanza forms, and although normally such is done at a 2(or more) to 1 ratio, you pull off the 1 to 1 very nicely, almost like there are two voices in a dialogue: 1 rather fast paced and frantic, and the other slow, steady, and solemn. Well done!
