Aquamarine Poem by Seairra Kyger

Aquamarine

Rating: 5.0


I remember my dreams
in pure aquamarine
memoirs seen
then unseen again

fragile is this girl
held up by the world
please don't wake up
don't ever wake up

I can not lie
I’m letting my days slip by
and stuck in my eyes
are the reflections of the sky

wound up like her favorite toy
left by a silly boy
please don't wake up
don't ever wake up

I will not tell you how much
I am missing you soft touch
cause I’m letting go of this clutch
I’ll never again be your crutch

shall I give up now
let love go somehow
please don't wake up
don't ever wake up

I miss the color
not of snow of water
my tears drive me closer
I will not die a martyr

I remember my dreams
in pure aquamarine
please wake me up now
please wake me up

very nice. You had some rhyme, yet you weren't very particular about it. I enjoyed it.

An interesting twist of events. Not just a presentation but a question to be pondered. I like the rhymes and especially the first two lines which read very fluently and set a nice atmosphere in which to picture the events portrayed. I remember my dreams in pure aquamarine They add color and music and you do well in repeating it.

For a minute there it felt like I inhabited somebody elses mind. Somebody very dreamy and bereft and poetic. I love the abstract way the lines seem to fit together.
