forevermore

middle of the night ramblings

artwork courtesy of vintage banks antiques

tonight I heard murmurs
a mere casual recall
of my indefinite reality
but then it took control

vulnerability undulated
to an incomprehensible rhythm
soft slopes melted
under unblinking eyes
curling into a continuum
of spiraling notions and nuances

glances receded
into not so succinct
and still sympathetic
syntax

suddenly
with the flick of a tongue
wandering thoughts and murmurs
joined forces

yes, tonight I heard murmurs
just before the thin line
between dreams and reality
blurred
forevermore

The technical term is hypnagogic hallucinations lol they are visual, tactile, auditory, or other sensory events, usually brief but occasionally prolonged, that occur at the transition from wakefulness to sleep. Ypou cam also get them when awakening. In which case they are called hypnopompic. Lovely description though of those thoughts in gentle manicured words Lydi.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks for telling me the technical terms...did not realize the feeling was a "thing"! :) I appreciate the review, John. Lydi**

I totally am mesmerized by your middle night ramblings ..... !!!!
The perfect romance that finds its way from our dreams into reality
A wonderful poem perfectly depicting that moment of being seeing our dreams flutter all around

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much, Nisreenaa. Lydi**

Quite often when we find ourselves in this pleasant abstract state of mind our most creative thoughts are birthed !

So eloquently penned Lydia, almost hypnotic such is the quality of this beautiful poem!

[Lydia Shutter]

"YOU ARE GETTING SLEEPY!" LOL Thanks for the great review, Tom. Hope to see you writing again soon. Lydi**

[Tom]

I'm solid gone Lydia and loving every minute !!

[Lydia Shutter]

Solid gone? Not sure what you mean.....have you decided not to write anymore?

[Tom]

From Kipling's Jungle Book, when Beloo the bear becomes totally under the influence from the 'beat' of the monkey's music, much to the consternation of Bageraa the panther as both are trying to rescue Mowgli from that old mischievous King Louie !

[Lydia Shutter]

aha, I missed the reference....sorry! I think the older I am, the less intellectual I become!

[Tom]

Quite the contrary I would postulate !

[Lydia Shutter]

You are a sweetheart. Thank you, Tom.

[Tom]

Ps. Hope to get a poem up soon Lydia, you know me though, slow like the tortoise but I always get there eventually !!

[Lydia Shutter]

:) slow and steady wins the race!

[Sanober]

I do love lingering in that enchanting place where reality melts into dreams and dreams into reality...where everything is unclear, yet lucid. you have described it so beautifully, turning it into a poetic story. Loved it, my friend!

[Lydia Shutter]

Sanober, thank you so much. Yes, unclear yet lucid....perfect description! Lydi**

[Sami Khalil]

Those hidden murmurs, flip of tongues and thin lines we walk on as we contemplate things, live between dreams and reality and blinking of times. Your poem adds forevermore the boundaries of such wonderful imaginings. Excellent...:)......

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you, Sami. Lydi**

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome...:).....

Classic flowing poetry Lyndi. It circles around itself.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much, Ken. Lydi**

Its such a magical state you describe here Lydia - not quite awake, not quite asleep. I allowed myself to become quite unwell at one time in my life as I tried to explore this state to the Nth degree, so this definitely resonates.
"glances receded
into not so succinct
and still sympathetic
syntax" - super alliteration dear poet !

A fine write altogether Lydia.

[Lydia Shutter]

I so appreciate your review, Anto. Thanks. Lydi**

As they used to say in the Triassic Period - Its my Plesiosaur

[Willard Wells]

Sounds like when i am drifting off to sleep and an idea comes to me and I try to hold on to it since I know it is going to be an idea I need. Thanks for sharing

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much, Willard. Lydi**

just before the thin line
between dreams and reality blurred
forevermore.

OHH who has never experienced this..
waking up from a dream half way through it
and trying so bad to go back to dream land but cant..
because that thin line has been blurred forevermore!

i can relate to this..
nice write and thank you for sharing.

[Lydia Shutter]

I so appreciate your review. Glad you could relate. Thanks. lydi**

[Julia Mars]

Sweet poem! Drifting between dreams and reality.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you, Julia. Lydi**

[Dara]

You have captured the true essence of that space where we start to drift off and dreams and reality become indistinguishable. Simply beautiful, Lydia.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you very much, Dara. I appreciate your review. Lydi**
