Utopia

I dreamt that I dreamt of a different world,
A world where pain was not a consequence
Of love; A land where music unfurled
Into colours; I dreamt of a different world..
 
A place afar where love was trivial,
Compared to us, to me and you;
A world devoid of resentment and lust,
A heaven that you and I construed.
A place where nobody else exists,
Where it would just be you and I;
A lustful kiss, eternal bliss,
Just us and the violet sky...
 
I dreamt that I dreamt of a land afar,
Where you loved me as I loved you;
I dreamt of an infant shooting star,
And yet all I wished for, was to be with you.
A place where you were not afraid,
Of believing you were made for me;
Where the skies were purple; the grass was blue,
And you and I were meant to be.
 
I know not if such a world exists,
Or if it’s all just in my head...
A land where I would sleep with you,
Just to watch you lie in bed.
I know you fear what lies ahead,
As your soul agitates to the hollow noises,
And you hang on by a feeble thread;
As your mind litigates the supressed voices.
I wish you’d have faith; that you’d wait and see
The world that I’ve dreamt for you and me.
Where you’d wake up to the shooting stars,
A world of strawberries, cream, and milkybars,
Where the tides would carry you up high,
And the ocean would wipe your tears;
Where you would follow your whims, and I,
Would subdue all your fears.

Purple skies and blue grass

Yes Yes I agree

I liked the imagery you painted in your poem and it was also very well thought out. ANd yes hope we must never give up on that as it sometimes at the moment hold on to. I like this and I shall visit you once again, I have not seen you here in a while, and I also know we all need our get away times too. Looking forward to reading you and I still can see the picture your poem represented, hard to write it in words my images right now. Bravo D Mona
