A Dreamers Lament Poem by David Harris
A Dreamers Lament
Once a love now withered in dust,
the flame that kindled candles glow,
of dreams and pastures nightmare past,
a glass unseen splinters so.
The conjured love young hearts bring,
so fine and neatly traced,
disappear within the years
that fondly take their grace.
A sonnet of bestowing fame,
lay years to be unseen,
like tokens in a daydream case
that hurry passed in haste.
A tormented soul in darkness,
awaits its freedoms light,
but passing time awaits no one,
in its rush to pass.
The swiftness of a cupid’s arrow,
within no mortal dream.
The flight of a songbird in the sky,
will a way want not.
I am a dreamer of the past,
whose futures an empty bowl,
shed tears of staining sorrow
across a hidden brow.
No man is an island,
no man is ever best,
for one never dreams of love,
or puts it to the test.
One can only dream of things,
with hope they’ll come true,
but fools are only dreamers,
and fools win in the end.
David this is very very good. One of your best in fact. It has a sweet melancholic soul and a structure which is at the same time lyrical and very touching. Beautiful poetry. love, Allie xxxx
I agree with Allie - one of your best. I'm in love with the last stanza, fool that I am.... :) t x
I love this David, sort of old school poem which i love...
This is magnificent. The No Man Is An Island struck me as it took me back to the time I first discoved that read and it's been a keeper... So well done is this one. ~~m.x~~
Wow I really love this one... I love the flow of it, dreamlike in its rhythm and very soothing... beautiful write, thanks for sharing your previous work, I really enjoyed it! Hugs, Lee
David, This is most certainly the kind of poem that touches my heart...it is lovely! Dorothy
Great job David it is always nice to see some of a poets older poems as well as you can learn alot from them about previous beliefs the poet held and maybe see small changes here and there in the attitude of the poets newer writings...but even back them you were a dreamer and that is the only way to be! A dreamer but one that makes things happen! ((Smile)) Great thought provoking piece my friend. Take care of U =Shelley=
I love the closing lines especially David, you have a fine way about your words, always evolving yet still holding on to your individuality Great work again Love duncan X
