Dreams & Poems Poem by Aranoys AreligSelegn

'I want to write a poem
but I don't know what it is.
I want to say all I feel
but I don't know what a true feeling is

Limits in my inspiration
start closing its doors on its own.
A trapped feeling in my mind
suffocates my soul.

I'm trapped in my own life
although I seem to enjoy freedom all along
What is life? …What is freedom?
Oh, how I wish I could hide and leave it all!

I open my eyes and I think…
I see that…No, it's nothing…
Maybe I'm truly mad!
Maybe I'm really insane!

I see gates closing!
Oh, what horrible gates!
If I made them myself
Then I should have the strength
to break each one of them!

I close my eyes and I see paths,
paths I should take and just live life…
See beyond your eyes
and you'll wisely choose the right path.

I'm now further down on a road of lost ghosts
and I'm falling further away from you
but I will not give up on our love…
Our roads once brought us together
and now they keep us apart
my love for you gives me strength
when everything else tears my soul apart.

I run and I run,
and I don't want to stop.
I search for paths that will lead me the right way
to find the keys and open the gates
and release my broken soul before it's too late.

I'm searching for verses,
verses that one will come together
and together a poem they will make.
I will write you a beautiful poem
with the power to enlighten
the darkest roads and
that will give freedom to lost souls
high in heaven or here on earth.

Search for your own keys
and your own light you will find.
You'll find your freedom, my freedom
and share your light with everyone.

I dream and I dream
and they all think me crazy,
But what these poor souls don't know is
that my dreams are not just mine
but they are also everyone elses!
How can it not be?
Isn't it true that real life is born from dreams?
Dreams for all of us, for them, for you and for me?

In my path I find souls,
some souls going forward and still searching
and some others coming back with their light …
I follow one of them…It might be in the way to freedom or just lost in the way…

This soul touched my heart,
it touched my eyes and it smiled at me in such a peaceful way…
It's face so familiar I can almost remember its name…
It says 'Wait. We already know each other from another time and place'
It then asked me to listen and it explains
it's got something important to say…:

'You see beyond your eyes…
This is a most heavenly prize!
If I had known this before
I'd still be alive by your side'

It then softly held my hand
and it lead me thru a peaceful path,
right along the most deep-blue lake,
and walked under a glittery sky.

'Pay attention and listen,
there is much that should be shared.
I know your soul knows a lot
but there is much you should know:

Life is hard, sometimes long.
Many challenges you'll find
and facing each one and all is how
you will find happiness and strength
for you and for those you keep in your heart.

You are afraid dear love, and I truly understand,
you've taken such great responsibilities
it all drains your strength each day.
What you don't know is that
by taking so much for others
you have become hope itself…
Learn to have more hope in yourself
and you'll never loose your way.

Great virtues and love in your soul you have,
and when fighting for your own soul's freedom
you still choose to fight not just for yourself
but first for everyone else…
…even when there is no hope
or even if it takes your last breath away.

You don't want rewards,
but your rewards will come…
There will be no limits nor sadness able to stop
the light that always shines from within you heart.

Verses will be born in your soul,
rhymes you will find in your mind.
Never forget my love
to see beyond your eyes…'

Now I'm awake from my dream
and with some tears I remember you are in a place far away.
A place where it is not my time to reach you yet.
I know you wait for me with a smile on your face.

I cannot hear your voice…
I cannot see your eyes…
but still I feel you are always close by…
So now, tell me my dear,
Is this a poem?
Was this at least a good try?

*********

Always try and make your own poems,
and your soul will show you verses of light…
Make your life a rhyme you share with others
and find your own heaven that will give you your freedom,
peace and love so great that it survives beyond life'
