a recipe of a dream that is made with a speck of dust and broken glasses

of grains of sand is what dreams are made of as they say

limitless like specks of dust

embraces the feet like shards

which we desperately try to reach

sheer frustration that weakens us as we awake 

stirs the thoughts we linger

as we see and feel it

numb as we are for the truth

shades of lies dancing in front of our eyes

we dream, and we drown...

falling from an endless steep

as we cast our soul to sleep

may we be blessed to face the bitterness of the real world.... as we arise...

"shades of lies dancing in front of our eyes
we dream, and we drown...
falling from an endless steep
as we cast our soul to sleep"....best part of the poem. The rhyming of the words adds to the power of the words. They flow well and I like the general idea of drowning in ideas and falling asleep.

this is what I get from this write:
the frustration of waking up from a dream that's so clear in my head, but I just can't describe it.
it's bloody infuriating, it is.
I say that dreams are manipulative, dreams are suspicious.

. nothing can really prepare us for the bitterness ... but this sure is a pretty remarkable write ...

The title alone is a poem it seems... dreamish waking.. sleeping shades... You provoke a depth of life on the edge of existence.. Powerfully voiced and beautifully profound..

the reality of dreams, is that when we wake up only the feeling of ecstasy remains but the bitterness of reality shall wash it away as the day goes by. Nice work, I like the dark feel of the entire poem! I hope I get to read more from you
