PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Branches separating, yet held together by the tree

Each designated with its array of colorful leaves

Enormously standing, hovering over me

It cradled us both inside my dreams



I climb into it, you’re on the ground

I’m high above you, reaching out for your hand

Hoping you can help me down

I’m afraid to fall, to hurt where I land



Can you climb up here to where I am at

Because you can’t hear my call

When you get here, you’ll sit where I sat

You won’t be below to break my fall



I fell down, I’m hobbling around

I’m in so much pain

You call for me, I hear the sound

I come running back again



I climb back up with the help of your hand

Feasting on feelings I don’t understand

Consuming the hurt, the pain, the blood

Because I’m afraid to accept the love



I climb up higher, I leave you below

My heart’s on fire, the beating slowed

It’s sleeping and you’re awaiting me

To wake up and climb out of the tree



Darkness moves in

You awaken me with a grin

“Are you ready to go now,” you ask

“No, let me sleep,” I say, my heart beating fast



Darkness greets the day again

You’re still there when I arise

Feed me, I’m starving with love and pain

I consume what I have now apprised



We climb back down together

But reach a branch we can’t transcend

From there in this dream I can’t remember

I finally woke up, and it came to an end
