Dreams

Aqua pulsing from two eyelids
Leading a string of spun tears to the sky
Bubbles of prayers drip from trembling lips
And the trapdoor underneath gives way
While arms outstretch to catch us

Although my shadow's gripped my throat
I'll rip away to save our restless loyalty
From the guilty disgusts of an old humanity
Your hand meets mine and my heart melts
Our porcelain skin reflecting each other

I dream of your eyes gazing at the stars
A thousand thoughts dappling your mind
My hand hesitantly reaches out to your chest
To feel the pulse of your beating heart
To remind myself that we're both alive

I'm glad I haven't fallen for a fool or a liar
Who takes pleasure in seeing a person beg
When instead I've fallen for a beautiful spirit
With a whirring right and open mind
And a pair of philosopher's eyes

I love this poem and I'm not even into poem publish a book I promise I'll be there to have you sign my copy!

This is a beautiful poem. It's written in the kind of style that I love...one that avoids a dreary litany of details in favor of an impressionistic rendering of a scene. Leaving the poem without a rhyme scheme allows you to express yourself more completely by using whatever language is appropriate, but the poem still has a mellifluous, natural lyricism to it that makes it flow easily, so I think that was a good decision for this piece. It's replete with fantastic imagery: I like all of the lines, but my favorites are in the first and last stanzas. "Our porcelain skin reflecting each other" also stands out, but you can't really isolate any one line in this poem; they're all excellent.

Words are the best friends a writer can have.
Some writers don't know this, and are incarcerated behind their vapid work. But your extensive work uses a vocabulary that makes you unique.
Don't change.

This has pricked a lot of curiosity within me...

It was truly a beautiful poem and I really enjoyed reading it. It was a poem I had to read a couple times. Very good. I liked the 3rd stanza the most. You're such an amazing writer. You never cease to show that. Wonderful job. :3
