under the light of the universe
a rainbow extends between the rose
I carry in my arms and the rest
of my wishes in the wishing well
deep in my dreams I am alone
being swept under the golden
and yellow leaves through the mists
of what hides behind the next step
you find me gazing at the moon
and I wonder why it's so simple
to fall into you - the touch of your
fingers
runs through the depths of my skin
setting fire to all the things I
thought
I knew to be true
shadows disappear
as we collide
into each others' eyes
time has a way of bringing
our dreams down
and in this world rich
are the dreamers
and I hope ours'
get to shine

A beautiful poem, Natasa. Indeed, each of us is 'alone' in our dreams, but it is so nice when we are taken out of our dreams and find ourselves colliding into someone else's eyes & living a real life dream.

The magic of dreaming - when shared and expressed so passionately is doubly as intoxicating

ReplyDeleteI think that only dreams that we carry along into daylight can bring it all together... I feel a hope in your poem

ReplyDeletei like how the 2 stanzas are separated in two columns, one for the dream, the other for the real world. excellent positive tone in the end lines. :)
Collide into each other's eyes...beautiful.

ReplyDeleteLike the dreamy texture to your words...the thought of reevaluating everything, all truths - eternal and every time is fresh after colliding with new energy/emotions...
ReplyDeleteYes! The stars and the eyes are shining, I love how the rainbow extends from the roses to the pot of gold as the speaker watches the setting sun.
