Rhymes - 17. Dream On.

Poetry Prompt 10: Sonnets of Haunting Dreams.

Awoken to tousled hair, sleepy eyes,

Enveloped in familiarity.

This moment: all of the world’s tragedy,

Beyond the reach of rational minds, lies.

 

Pink lips fluttering across gentle sighs,

Absent-minded vulnerability,

Baffling to me, is such reality

Could from minimal effort birth and rise.

 

Awoken twice to darkness without end.

A cold draft plunders: rude and abrasive.

Eyes pinch shut: a desperate call for sand

To generously trickle, fill and give

Me another chance with you, if it can,

For in waking, there is much to forgive.

This is a very personal poem...particularly strong I think is the double sense of 'sand.' It's a powerful evocation of both time, as in an hourglass, and the sandman, who might be the one person able to give some relief to the poet.

 

Thank you for taking the poetry prompt challenge!
