eclipse Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Dream within a dream-a mermaid's dreamingeyes of driftwood. A beachcomber hoists anchorto release the soul of a whale dying.Clouds scroll across the horizon the moon storesstories from it's evening haul. a dolphinwearing an eye-patch disturbs a bottledship-a stowaway wakes, sees a whale shiftingastrally, lighting up an empty mist cloakedlighthouse. Driftwood passes by whaling ships,deathleaves bottled fire slyly beneath,he makes a melody on glass-she wakes, reaps-issuing incantations lovelier,killing flames. Death slumbers without music to spare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 The five senses are universal and though much of your work contains tangible metaphors there is an abstract quality about it which resurrects in my mind a sixth. A Chinese conundrum I read somewhere along the line. A man dreams that he is a butterfly and in the dream he has no knowledge of his life as a human being. When he wakes up, he asks himself two questions: am I a man who has just dreamed that he was a butterfly? Or am I a butterfly, dreaming that I am a man?

dcmarti1 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 a dolphinwearing an eye-patch disturbs a bottledship Makes me think that the artist Rene Magritte could paint that.....Surreal, but serene. An other-worldy or other-dimension poem. Neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
