Melted Dreams



Melted dreams within
Another smoke filled room.
Got nothing but mental sin
Leaving not very quick or soon.

Sifted thoughts and decisions
Crossed nowhere within me
Like a writers revisions
Gleaned under life's tree

Wants and blurred wishes
Tick inside tonights clocks
As free as broken dishes
Slammed on worthless rocks.

Beautiful and unique imagery,
Every word is well etched,
Every thought well thought at,
The crossword is so intricately laid,
As I read this, I am simply amazed,
At your artistry, at the skill displayed!

(((((Hugs for an excellent piece of work)))))

love, xxx, Zoya

Sometimes, stuff dredged from the past like this can deliver pure gold. The second verse is absolutely stunning!

(i wish you could just comment with a facial expression... like, say, stunned...)

this is a good write (although "leaving not very quick or soon" feels like saying the same thing 2x)

but the thing in this that really got me was the last verse. there's a power to it, to those dishes on the rocks and the melted dreams (a mental sin, oh there is so much all through it that this poem calls up emotionally)....

all i can say is...

i'll take the red pill (hehehe)
