A Rainbow Of Dreams (1) Poem by Lazarus Knix

I dreamed a dream of crimson red
While flaming tongues danced overhead
And licked my youthful spirit clean
Of timid will and wanderings
For even in my deepest sleep
I could not herd the straying sheep
Which was my fervor and my strength
Yet due to dreams, they’ve wandered back

I dreamed a dream in orange fog
Of beauty and her bright barrage
Of prospects painted gold with light
That rose so slowly out of night
And ironed out my wrinkled limbs
And whispered “Run where rainbows end! ”
I listened, and now cannot quit
When beauty dawns, I sprint to it.

I dreamed a dream of yellow eyes
With just a glance, we intertwined!
And set inferno to the trees
Of all things grown melancholy
I once dwelled within that forest
Yet came dreams, and my seas parted
And crashed again, yet drowned not me
Rather, all of my enemies.
