The Unwanted Dream Poem by Magic Box
The Unwanted Dream
The blue marble roof!
With a golden chandlier
The big wide sky spread!
Tiny fluffy white cusions
Here and there
I flew from one cloud to the other
Sitting on a white dove
To levitate through the sky!
And I was feeling heavenly!
The dove vanished
All of a sudden, Why?
Alas! I should have learnt flying!
Like any other Newton's apple
I fell down to earth
Through the gustly wind!
God! My bum was burning!
Bloody friction? Or sharpnels?
Within a moment
I was trapped
Inside the swarm
Of a thousand iron bees!
Thunderbirds, dogfighting!
When the grey cloud took over
After the flames engulfed
I saw a lightning!
I'm still falling!
Down to earth
Which seemed so petite
Like an open magic box
Without any secrets!
The parade of thousand steel ants
Who spat exploding saliva
Hearts were squealing
Under their chained legs!
Someone's home!
'The Home Sweet Home'
Now the dust of dreams!
Earthly wonders shattered
In to the ruins of somebody's sin!
And I fell in between
A man with a gun and no limb!
A woman holding a dead child!
- - - - - - - - - -
Startled and awake from
This scary dream
I wiped sweats off from my forehead
And I heard a buzz
Of an unknown Iron bird
Looking out through the window
I saw no fluffy clouds
Nor the big blue sky
An unwelcomed bird
Which forgot its diapers
Dropped a thousand metal eggs
In my godforsaken head!
And I was in heaven!
wow what a dedication bro alec is crying in librarie right here rght now
@Dinesh Nair & Valsa George: respecting you, and touching my ears for the words which have more of your kindness and less of my contribution...i am here to learn poetry from all of you...thanks with regards! This poem is contextualized as the poet mourns for the people who died in war and the futility and destruction in war!
Steely images Aswath! Great! But I am a poor interpreter of dreams unlike Shahzia who seems to supercede even Freud and Carl Yung! Dreams can never have much coherence! Initially the flight was heavenly, but unfortunately you fell down. Once fallen down, there will be attacks from all sides. There can be showers of pellets of steel and attacks by vultures and finally succumbing to the hostile world!
check out: chandlier and gustly. yes, truly it has the flavor of a dream. i like the poet's note : (and the poem. at least you ended up in heaven. send a post card. thanks for sharing. i esp. liked: Like any other Newton's apple and: The parade of thousand steel ants Who spat exploding saliva Hearts were squealing Under their chained legs! ...............very creative and expressive. bri :) [sent to MyPoemList]
A fantastic, dreamy journey and good narration of a battle scene.
Men go to war and die in war because politicians fail to talk peace.
