Rows and rows of braided hair
In the green of Eden's field
Icecream clouds floated in the air
And scented candles were everywhere
Acoustic and drum were one in the same
The world's colors swirled in a crazy way
As you swung me around and around and around
Laughing up at the ocean sky at all the flowers that came falling down
Bodies rest upon Eden's soft green grass
Shadows casted a stretching scene
You talked to me about your dreams and I did of mine, but I could not help but wonder Why?
Fore dreams are the minds get away from this world into the next, with no boundaries, because when a soul dreams it's limitless
But dreams you mentioned must also be believed in, to believe in dreams is to believe in Hope
Hope being depicted in that of a large tree, its branches growing farther with every hoping dream
And when that Tree of Hope has bared fruit,
You know that dreamer has fully believed,
Evidence to the fruit of Truth
Meaning gave away to what you had said
Now I understand and do believe in my dream as well as yours
In a garden did the emerald eyes of a Bengal tiger stare you down
You wanted to make peace but the creature could not comply
Chasing you down a path then did you suddenly spring into the Wind's arms dropping you into the Sea
Breaking open dared your eyes,
Then did you realize you could breath
A group of dolphins playfully swam under, around, and above you
You swam with them as if one of their own,
Beholding to you their beautiful aquatic home
Voices were heard
Discovering a ring of mermaids, with hair like fire did it flow through the seas ignorant jealously
She grinned at you taking you by the hand,
Led into the center
Their song was pure enchantment, so melodious, and laced with sweet harmony
Unaware you opened your mouth,
Struggling to breath
The mermaids continued to sing as you floated back up
Facing an indigo sky and twinkling stars
A giant white bird took you for a ride
And that was the end of that dream
Dazed eyes shone
Turquoise and silver beads strung loosely adorning once naked arms
Our fingers motioned so spherically,
Tracing the Sun
Colors flashing in the sky
Together we've watched them change
Day to Dusk
And so it begins,
Night's ultimate reign
Suddenly you hand me a Rose
Delicate beauty,
With green leafy stem,
Silk red
Makes you think of Shakespeare's quote in Romeo and Juliet
Spiraled petals all connected, making One
Compare a Rose with any other?
Quite Estrange, wouldn't you say?
And now it has begun,
Riding barefoot with the Wind
The music's beating louder
As angel dust spreads its powder
Our friends are acting strange
The stars are streaking,
Far and wide,
Hot, bright, celestial trails left behind
And Tonight's blackness has been spilled with Violet
Unicorns are stampeding
Splashing clouds
Creating silver metallic waves
That shower crystal raindrops
The music keeps on playing louder
Trying to match up
To become One with Nature's Power
Crack!
Boom!
Acid lightning just struck the Moon
Electrocuted till it shattered open,
Stopped to watch all the pretty doves break free
Their wings created an infinite banner across the stars
Leaving the Crescent Moon to bleed
Vibrant colors flowed a River of Red, Yellow, Orange, and motley others
Someone strummed a sintar
Painting a psychedelic wave,
One melting scene
That seemed to slow Time
Losing you and I in this Purple Haze
So distraught was I,
Finding myself Alone
From the dark decrepit shadows made itself known,
Fear touched me,
Clutched in It's ice cold grip
Heart pounded,
As my legs bounded,
Through the fog of smoke and haze
Faint of breath
Wearily stopped to rest
My vision clouded
Fear grinned wider
Spiking me poisoned to a Death choke was It's goal
Just as you and I
Hope was lost
But what was this?
The Red Rose
How it got misplaced?
I do not know
Then through the fog did you appear
Emerald eyes glowed from behind
Suddenly everything was clear
Fear was gone,
Hope found a way
But still I was scared
Those emerald eyes,
Same as you described
Chased by the tiger were you
Trapped in Déjà vu
But instead of a mermaid,
You found me
You continued to run from the Tiger's wrath
Embraced eachother in our arms
But I was still scared
You and I dispersed within the fog
And the music still drummed,
My numb mind spun
All the images, all the colors, all the memories, all the Faces of the Past, Present, and Future
Wildly Swung,
Until all the telepathy drowned
Morphing a flower bud,
That rapidly bloomed,
Into a Rose
I stopped my breath
It all made sense now
Just as you said,
Today, Tonight, the Tiger, the Rose
All aligned for something big to show
We embraced eachother tighter,
Floating upward higher
Monarchs with wings of jade fluttered us in a spiral whirl wind
Separated again were we
Collided within the Galaxy,
But I was not afraid
My branches have finally reached their full growth
The Tree of Hope maturing fruit
Faith was beyond me
Then feathered wings sprouted out,
Gusting away stardust
Flying is walking in the air
You and I our just a pair of Angels
Dream escaped the realm of Fantasy
Reincarnated its own Reality
Happiness bestowed upon me
Embraced again were we
And I knew my Dream was now True,
Once these Hazel eyes kissed Blue
This poem is great. It's huge for one and it's also very passionate. It evokes some really amazing images. My favorite line is:
Unicorns are stampeding
Splashing clouds
Creating silver metallic waves
That shower crystal raindrops
Good work Flower Child!!
