Play my distant dream
Banality
of dreams
Full
of gloom and gleam
Horizons
are wide open
To
carry my distant dream.
I
pampered in dark nights
Feeling
the crafty tulips
In nature’s lap
For
thou shall carry my distant dream.
Some
puffed up
Holding
my empty aims
In
traces of ruined life
Thy
carry my distant dream.
Pause
on the howling sighs
Amidst
cold waves
That
carry my tins
While
holding my distant dream.
Sour
isn’t the sill
Life
is but hollow
Carrying
the muse
Of
one distant dream.
