Lilian is hosting Tuesday Poetics at dVerse. She has asked us to write a poem that takes us inside a dream? It can be your dream or someone else’s dream. Are you sleeping in a bed during this dream? Sitting on a train dozing? Leaning up against a tree staring at the clouds? Does your dream take you beneath the seas? Into the clouds? Or maybe you’re on a stage flooded with the smoke of dry ice? Is your dream triggered by a scent? By a song? By a photo you came across? Let your imagination drift and take us with you into a dream!
Here’s a a sneak peek into my dreamland 🙂
Clouds- greyish black to pristine white,
I walk through them-
Barefooted
A silken white gown shaping my curves
I slowly tread on dewdrops
Afraid of taking their breath away,
Tiptoeing,
To avoid waking up the sleeping stars
A rainbow is what I desire-
A palette of colours
I want some hues,
To sprinkle on the canvas of my prosaic life
Snow stairs allure
Enticing to a transcendent valley
Adorned with flora of all shades
I’m captivated by their spell
Orchids, tulips, carnations-
Smiling; infusing vigor
Unraveling the mysteries of life
Offering their colour, their fragrance, their splendour
I sit by the lake,
Gaping at the beauty
Flowing water enthusing my senses
Cold breeze tantalising my reflection
A life away from life
A dream away from reality
A world away from world
An eternal divine bliss
Orchids, tulips, carnations-
I smell as I turn on my bed
My feet are cold-
Dewdrops or snow, I wonder
A dream, was it?
I smile as I look out of window
A gush of cool wind caresses my tresses
A new dawn awaits!

Great quotation at the end. And I love being taken into this dream world with you! It is indeed a beautiful one. I most especially LOVE the second stanza! So glad you posted to the prompt!
Nice lines: “I slowly tread on dewdrops
Afraid of taking their breath away,”
Thanks Frank. Dew drops are so sensitive that the words came so naturally 🙂
