Hazy Dreams Poem by Alice Cuenca

Hazy Dreams

Rating: 4.9


Words cast shadows,
the breeze carries it and
lingering almost feeling
your presence...
my heart stretches like gossamer webs,
we bridge over...
distance has no meaning.

Words form an image of you
words that consume...
envelop me like in darkness
sleepless...
its shadows unspoken but felt
what's the use of daylight?
when my eyes are blocked
with the thought of you...

Short sleep- hazy dreams
have no colors.
I envision the water...
transparent, limpid, shadowless

I am a leaf on a pond
the sky submerged
look down! against the sky I am flying
in a topsy-turvy world

To fly
is not an option...
as much as I wanted,

seeing you is not an option...

Hi Candice, thanks for pointing me in the direction of this beautiful poem about love. These lines did it for me the most. 'my heart stretches like gossamer webs, we bridge over... distance has no meaning.' Because such love has no boundaries. You describe with vivid imagery how two souls can be joined no matter the distance, even death has no boundaries in he wake of such a love. Great work. Smiling at you, knowing exactl what you are saying here, and it is true, so true. Tai
