Silly Wishes Poem by boukhalfa laouari

Silly Wishes

Rating: 4.4


I want to be sunshine to make you of my golden rays a peerless jewel
I want to be a secret to dwell the far bottoms of your heart
I want to share you a bit of intimacy
I want to be an artist, to feel your seraphic beauty
I want to be a bird, to sing you songs of liberty
I want to be your blood, to feed your entire body
I want to be handsome and wealthy, to deserve your fat a pity
I want to be your shadow, your lead I want to follow, no matter if blindly
I want you in my inner, to see my feelings bluntly
I want you read it wholly, to see of what I’m needy
I’m I dreamer really, is that my minds fancy
Let me then be a dream, be born in your heart
Leave in your heart, though to be killed by reality

I’m afraid

I’m afraid of sunshine I’m afraid of cloudy winter
I’m afraid of being a secret, then your heart my grave for ever
I’m afraid of being an artist, none that want maybe harder
I’m afraid of being a bird, lest to fall in your cage a prisoner
I’m afraid of being your blood, I’m afraid of death and murder
I’m afraid of being handsome, shall ages make me looser
I’m afraid of being wealthy, money is such bad master
I’m afraid of being a shadow, no more running further
I’m afraid of your closeness, lest to have an inner settler
I’m afraid of reality, I’m afraid of the future
Let me dream, let me express, I’ not mad, I’m not sinner
I’m mere a free poet, I’m mere a happy dreamer

I really like this one, it kinda sucks wanting something so bad and to be afraid at the same time but thats life. Keep writing, Aimee

The contrast is striking. It is simple but in its way, profound. I like it.

You are right, you are a poet, and of course a human that free to feel to wish and to dream...No silly wishes here because it was what your heart said to your life to be, to have.. In our life always we wish for something, and i dont see any of yours are silly one..though it just a hope, it can be a guide for one thing achieved...so do wishes as much as you need and never look back...and go toward it_Soul

that's what happens in most cases, we follow our hearts'desire, we dream, we wish...and then we are struck by reality thunder...it knocks us down, and nothing is left of a poet but his words brilliant write
