Y is for Yielding to the Subconscious
registers its presence in the nights
not wanting to show its true colours
but rather flashes of staccato bites
emerging for a split second or longer
then disappears into Davy Jone's locker
can one believe dreams that appear
foretelling of what’s coming in the future
but why must the images emerge
and then wrecking, inflicting damage
causing havoc in the minds of the host
playing tricks to test the human resolve!
a good dream is a bonus for good living
bad dreams aftermath of bad intentions
getting mixed up in lots of misgivings
prodding the mind in torrid simulations
in classic fashion and in myriads of colours
"bad dreams aftermath of bad intentions" ... in that case no bad intentions allowed. Period!!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea that a good dream is a bonus for good living. Always a pleasure to read you, Hank.
ReplyDeleteHank, you and I will have to disagree on the underlying intentions of dreams... In the end, nobody really knows, but maybe one day we will find out. I've wondered if when we pass on if our world becomes one big dream that we don't wake up from.
ReplyDeleteI don't get many good nights sleep and when I dream they are confusing. I really enjoyed your verse Hank, hoping a good dream will be a bonus.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
There's a lot of truth in this, Hank:
ReplyDelete'a good dream is a bonus for good living
bad dreams aftermath of bad intentions'.
Brilliant insight into the power of our dreaming.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work Hank, very well written! We both went to dreams.
ReplyDeleteThis made me smile...." flashes of staccato bites
ReplyDeleteemerging for a split second or longer
then disappears into Davy Jone's locker". Dreams are definitely a phenomenon.....or are they?
I like the way the title and ending line hold the poem.
I want to have good dreams but I can't remember them afterwards.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend Hank.
I would love some good dreams, but alas there are mostly nightmares for me.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work!
