Unfinished Dream Poem by Smoky Hoss

Unfinished Dream

Rating: 5.0


Unfinished dreams
Lay immured in melancholy
-the saddest mystery, of all human folly-
The feeling like fall
I can't seem to lose,
It smells of ancient memories
And undone blues.
So much longed for
Is recalled no more,
It has all came and went
Like a maudlin dream, unspent.
What can they mean,
These fading, unfinished dreams?
Brought upon clouds of blue
Drifting by, always just out of view;

Unfinished dreams
Are memories lined with a purity of love as yet unseen;
Like friends I know, yet don't, and
Friends I wish to know, fearing I won't,
Like an evening sky speaking in silent tones
With a melancholic voice I feel -somehow- I have known.
The voice encouraging:
' Finish the dream,
All is not just as it seems.'

Life thus far
Is an unfinished dream
Originating from an unseen distant Star
When that last super-nova ignites
In the greatest ever flash of light
Our mysterious, melancholy dreaming shall end
And there we awake where we began...
Seeing, for the first time, exactly where we are.

Great poem. I love this. I stopped writing 15 years ago, i started writing again 7 weeks Ago. So i guess this is my unfinished dream, and your very kind comments are making It all worth while. Thankyou.

This is a really deep experience. The way that you ended it, seems to me as near to perfection as is possible. We all owe our existence to supernovas- for the heavy elements in our bodies- we are all made of the stuff of stars, so you could say that when we die- we are returned back again to stardust- not a homely end, at all, is it? Wonderful work, Smoky!
