the cracks in morning

the cracks in morning

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


the cracks in morning

 

i surmise the sunrise

in your eyes is for me

then suddenly,

i am opening my umbrella lids

 

and your iris

is the antithesis 

of my deliriously drenched

dream.

Waking from a dream, of a magnificent beauty, alas, now unseen......

Sometimes there is nothing more heartbreaking than to dream of a beautiful love while asleep, only to open our eyes as the sunlight peers through the cracks in our lids, and dissolves our dream into fragments.

Well worded, well written and full of lovely images.
Great writing as always, Jacob.

Best you stay in bed a little longer, maybe rub the eyes one or two times, who knows, a dream may pass by and you may find wholeness in the morning glow.

Nice write Jacob!

Regards,
Al

The awakening from a dream of love leaves a warming glow. The focus is on the eyes, the essence of observance, the truth tellers. The belief in what you see can incorporate remnants of dreams, footprints in the morning dewy grass.
A wonderfully dreamy write jacob. take care...dan

Things aren't always what they seem.
When you open your eyes,
you realize,
with a surprise
that its not what you surmise.

A clever entertaining write Jacob. Be it tunnel vision, bad light or love is blind, or beauty lies in the eye of the beholder and just like that song mentioned I can see clearly now the rain has gone!! :)

We see what we want to see sometimes, and then sometimes, we suddenly don't.

I like this. Makes me think of those times we shelter ourselves from truly seeing things because we've got blinders on. But when we do open our eyes there's clarity. We should all eat more carrots.
