~ The Dragonfly dreamt Me

 

Dark waters, deathly dehydrated,

By the arid light of the devils Moon,

A glimpse of grey-turquoise, transformed

Originated by blue and green,

              The changing incidence of the light,

              Daylight, was to come, too soon!

 

And so I rested upon a wet broken branch,

In this forbidden land,

The glossy maple leaves,

              Reflected just one star;

              I saw you, shining upon this water,

With these quadruple wings, from afar

 

Tired, but ever safe here in this land,

A moment, of peace merged

With water, wood, some sand…

 

I did entered your dream,

Where you gave me your visions…

               The world felt home, through

                Light transmissions,

 

A mood of gentle euphoria,

Glided slowly through our thin veins,

Where we became a Dragonfly;

            Four eyes of passion,

            Seen through two, never to extinct,

Love in rest for a life-time,

On this quiet lakeside interlinked ~

I dreamt, I was a Dragonfly ~

[Thaddius]

This is surreal, Ovid-esque. A great meditation on beauty and escape from our corporeal monotony. The dragonfly dreaming you as the vehicle for your dream as the dragonfly is brilliant. Metaphysical, the lines dance and brim with aesthetic bliss, but it's the spaces in-between that tempt of something ethereal, religious. The one-ness of everything. Loved it.

I can't thank you enough for your review this time Thaddius, you felt it... I felt it, I dreamt this, while I was been dreamt, and wrote it quite soon after in a scribblish way out on paper. Then this came out, of the unconciousness... your reviews, are brilliant. :)

Tired, but ever safe here in this land,
A moment, of peace merged
With water, wood, some sand…
very nice and lovely poem you have created. Loved it.

Thank you so much, :) -x-

This was tangibly dreamy and liquid, you never fail to entertain. This poem excels as well in a clever and polished visual layout. I trust you are well old friend!

Thank you so much dear :) I value your thoughts, I am posting some older ones lately back on top, I see every piece as a child lol... some need more hugs, and love. You can count on me ;-) hence your last words :) hope you too... catch up soon.

[Wuji]

I kicked myself off of facebook, but if you have skype let me know in a pm what it is.

Yes, I have .... shall give you mine :) I truly not easy hate things, but facebook I do hate... so wise choice buddy. :D hehe...

[Wuji]

Thank you, it's nice to have less to do online :P

Yes, it's so Zen, it was for me such a waste of time :P ha ha... I killed fb, twitter, all I murdered, it felt like a true decapitation ritual by a stellar guillotine ;)

[Wuji]

Imagine how Zen it would be if we didn't write! Sometimes I think taking long breaks would do us good. Do you ever feel that way?

So Zen... but then the muse calls us, ever now and ever then... sigh ;-) I do treasure long breaks, as you do too. :) I know where we always will meet halfway :)

[Wuji]

Yes there are sanctuaries and there are nice souls!

Very very true.... ;-)

Clever surprise ending and great idea of a unique perspective to write from! I like your unusual rhythmic structure. It is broken and jumbled slightly like the detritus that litters the dragonfly's landscape.

Thank you very much R.R. :) for the kind words and your time, very appreciated. Elis

[Robert Tusitala O'Neill]

You are very welcome and I hope to get to know your poetry better and thus be more of a help!

Thank you again, that would be nice! Will do the same in return :)

[Robert Tusitala O'Neill]

It's a deal!!

For sure! :)

What an amazing surreal dream, full of imagination, colors and light! I just wonder of your great talent to crave the words and give them shape...Dragonfly is so mysterious and lovely creature, specially from its name, its wings are so fragile and transparent. It is great transformation, also it is connected with the underworld, with the invisible universe ,where there are fairies and love, and where humans also can possibly fly. It reminds me of dream inside a dream, view from a high, and even this dragonfly expresses water element of your soul.... :) ♥

Thank you so much, this was a real dream, I woke up, and wrote it out. But indeed dreams can be so surreal. First I made key words, then I tried to paint in words, the dream, exactly how it was. Yes, connected also with the wetlands, and underworld, for sure. I think it was part of a lucid dream. Knowing somhow you're dreaming... you know? half in conciousness still. And maybe I am related very much to water, you're not the only one who have said that to me in my life... great you say it though. It's something to discover still.... ;) xx many thanks for such a thought provoking review nia, I truly appreciate you ♥

[Sugar Plum ♥]

I love lucid dreams, and I have so many! but always in a form of human, it`s soo nice to fly :)

[Rob Santana]

Very interesting dream you had here Hermana. Your words give us readers a glimpse into your dream. Well done.

Gracias mi lindo Hermano!!! :) you felt the Elisita lol!!! ((((TYPED TOO RAPIDO)))) jajajaja

[NeiL ArandA]

Its beautiful. Its not rhymed yet it flows.The two introductory couplets really a good appetizer. Preparing the readers palate and taste buds for more sultry courses. If I guess it right, the author might be describing low tide cause by the moons positional orbit around the earth. Its like free verses

Thanks a lot dear friend (honest friend) I appreciate you. :) This one I wrote in 10 minutes, I listened to the dream I had, wrote in 5 minutes a holistic cloud of key-words, then, in the other 5 I did the whole piece :) (that's how I work sometimes), more of a feeler here on WC, than I am a schooled chick... :D It flowed out of improvisation of dreams I guess. I was not actually being busy with the readers, I was just translating the dream I had... what came next, was wonderful. It was a totally free verse, I am of those, I hate rules... :D (although I have some ruled writes here too) xx thank you so much loved the review!

[NeiL ArandA]

I was right all along when you said you're a feeler than a schooled...Its like I was drawn to your piece.

Sigh... thanks.... :) better drawn sometimes, than over-killed ;) by rules he he...

What an amazing dream sis, the dragonfly, it is so lovely in its perfectly still state, and the best flier of all animals... Anyway, this was vividly painted and I love how there was a separation yet no separation, a merging though already merged, between the poet and the dragonfly, and something else... peace and appreciation and love merged here too. Lovely and effective, my dear Elisa!

My dear sister, you have a gift you know that? you always can understand the dreams I had.... what a beautiful and deep review, I love it... thank you my dear! xxxx
