Woven in mist
Their faces
Appear in my dreams
And stalk
The spiraling stairs
Of heart
And with lips entice
As I swoon
In trance
And taste at once
The unforeseen bliss
That drips
From those eyes
And fills up my cup
And spills…
Away from the doses of grime and grease
From struggling silence
And fretted unease
Their songs now call to my soul
As I roll
As a fish that is coiled in a net
Of trust and duty and who knows what else.
I am drunk in my dreams
And hope
For a flight
With angels of light
Who I know shall fly
With others elsewhere
Beyond my gaze
In unflinching haze.
And still do I dream
And conjure in vain
Those eyes, those lips
Those enchanting songs
That drag my ship
To who knows what shore
And toss my soul
As a cloud in a storm
That hopes for a flash
To pour out in rain
Songs of a hymn that is unheard of yet!
I tussle with life to sail in my dreams
Punctuating days
With half-hearted screams.

We always have to continue to dream...and though we are tossed, as if in a storm, we can fly above. I enjoyed this.
Such a beautiful expression of love...we fall into it and hope it has no end.
As a fish that is coiled in a net Of trust and duty and who knows what else.
You'll be at home in my poem today! LOL ♥
This put me in mind of a sailor, unable to resist the call of the siren.
this is splendid Abin! i was reading it and images flew in front of my eyes in such a realistic way...beautiful!
I thought you handled the juxtaposition of the dual life led well, and movingly. The yearning is made evident, and the danger of yielding to the preferrred hinted at with the enchanting songs/that drag.
The final stanza was very effective, and the whole has provoked thoughts I can't quite resolve. Liked it!
Love, love, love this! I feel as if I've just been on a walk through your dreams and recognized some bits of my own dreams in it.
i think there should be more exclamation pointing in poetry! love it.
Oh how we soar in our dreams. I so loved reading this, ablaze with longing and images.........glorious writing!
nice rhymes
this was mystical...great imagery and deeply felt emotion
Is there a word to do this poem justice? This is one of the best I've read in a while. I love it :D
