Dreamscapes and Horrormares

Drifting across the vastness

Of the silvery astral plane

On wings of daydreams

And chariots of nightmares

Dancing when the jubilant sun

Rises high in the pale sky

Shuddering as silken sheets

Turn into a prison of steel

Its an ever changing world

Of dreamscapes and horrormares

Shifting as the wind blows

Evolving as thoughts rearrange

Transforming from one reality

To the next

Upon a whispery breath

Churning with the tides

Of evolution

Where nothing and everything exists

Author's Note

Dreamscapes, horrormares, and whispery are words that I made up to convey my idea. You will grasp the meaning as you read the poem. Self explanatory.

Hello! just strolling around your poetic realms and I think I enjoyed this piece more than the others. not that the other poems are bad (Winter's Invasion is a creative cold), but this one really got my attention since I'm also a little bit interested in the dream world. this poem really portrays it. the strangeness in the pieces of thoughts, the inconsistency of the landscapes, all are nicely expressed in a slow, calm manner. nice. like observing one of Yves Tanguy's paintings haha. I like how your poems have short lines, yet every line is filled with honest emotions. that's cool. keep it up :)

Life changes, vision change and we look at the world with different eyes. Dreams can become nightmares. Nightmares turn to sweet dreams. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

I am so glad you enjoyed this piece. Much like life dreams have their ups and downs as well.

[SHEEMA HUQ]

Very professional, I thoroughly enjoyed.

You really challenge the tired mind, I mean that in a great way...your words are food for the mind and heart, sensational! x

[Poetic Beauty]

I think you did a good job with the words you made. I like how the sound a tiny bit 'Alice In Wonderland'-ish, but then they are also really unique so that's nice :) The imagery is amazing. Great job! ♡

[Poetic Beauty]

I love Alice in Wonderland so that is a great compliment even though I was not trying to be like that.

:) you're welcome

nothing and everything...yes.

[Split Voices]

Nice poem. And of course, I am very interested in the topic that your poem does well to focus on, I just feel that the topic is too broad and viewed different by people. Unlike your plain tree or mountain range, dreams are experiences that are impossible to share. And of course, your poem does well to capture that, but unfortunately saying how chaotic something is isn't very descriptive. It's a nice piece, but I just think that poems aren't the best form for talking about very broad concepts.

[Poetic Beauty]

I understand your thoughts on this but I love to write about dreams. It fascinates me.

[Split Voices]

Oh dreams fascinate me too and I have several of my own pieces on it, but I try to stay more grounded to the tangible world so that I can convey to other people what it is exactly I experience and feel. Different approaches. Not trying to bust your way up.

[Poetic Beauty]

Oh I know. I have several pieces written about dreams I have had but this one I wanted to write about the astral plane as a whole.

[Split Voices]

Gotcha. Fair enough. Well, I'll be sure to look for those other poems and reflect with this one.

[Poetic Beauty]

I write a bit abstract sometimes. I love drifting to different places so you never know what you might step into...enjoy. Welcome to read any time.

[Split Voices]

Enjoyed. Vice versa.

[Jack...]

Ever changing, a constant abstract, painting outside of the lines as we stand and watch, waiting for our chance to dance within the new change. Very cool my friend, deep, dark and nicely done.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thanks the dream realm is limitless in possibilities.

[Joyce S. Greene]

I liked this a lot. The ever changing landscape of the planet on which we all live is indeed awesome. I loved your imagery and the words you use so creative. "Horrormares" is just wonderful Great job! Keep writing.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you. I am glad you liked this poem.
