"dreams"

[BabyGrace]

as you close your eyes
you begin to drift over elysian fields
take a dive further down
as your memory is slowly erased
grasp tighter what you can't hold
let go of all that can't be sold
slip into a world you know
where you're spun around
to face the petals in slow-motion
dreams are better
when all they do is leave the truth behind
dreams are better
when negativity's a state of mind
catch the rain on your tongue
and taste the tears of the mist
look at this land where no one lives
turn away from the deafening echoes
as autumn's leaves begin their journey
dancing a startled path to the ground
you're alone as the shadows bare their teeth
and you're driven back to the quiet of your secret realm
escape reality with new pain
hide with this silence that is better
amd an imagination that slowly bleeds your soul out

That was gorgeous, Babygrace. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. It really speaks to me; this is how I feel.

foray, if you feel you need to talk to somebody, I'm here. I'm dead serious about that

This one feels so natural. The poem seems to drift down to its conclusion like those autumn leaves. There is a close and intimate feeling here that I really like. I can identify with those last few lines.

I go crawlin' over me."

"look at this land where no one lives"--that's my favourite line. This poem makes me sad, though

But hey, I've always loved sad music and artistic works that make me cry, so it shouldn't bother me

I forgot to tell you I really liked this poem, but what else is new? what poem of yours haven't I liked???

"grasp tighter what you can't hold
let go of all that can't be sold"

and

"dreams are better
when all they do is leave the truth behind
dreams are better
when negativity's a state of mind
catch the rain on your tongue
and taste the tears of the mist
look at this land where no one lives
turn away from the deafening echoes
as autumn's leaves begin their journey
dancing a startled path to the ground"

and... aw heck, I love all of it...

what can i say? im a sucker for pain i guess
