Succumbing to the Abyss of Dreaming

My subconscious harvests the thoughts that were bypassed

They collect together in one place, and wait to be unleashed

Like a cougar awaiting on a prey, my dreams are lurking in the shadows

They find the perfect moment, to vomit the events that previously occurred

They are hidden messages, that I have to decode

My lessons are taught, in the form of an endless reel

The meanings behind this euphoric state of mind are hard to decipher

On the account that they were barely noticed by the fully engaged state of mind

The journey of dreaming is a long and exhausting travel

The lure of false hope drew me into the driver's seat

The aspirations of being more than the average individual

Convinces the soul to do more searching

A surreal state of mind is within arms reach

The desire to participate is reason enough

To surrender to the abyss of this eternal mystery

  1. That was very intresting but don't forget to add the prepose and age group. The flow seemd a bit choppy but other than that its very well written.

  2. Vivid choice of vocabulary! Although, the rythm was confusing and difficult to feel. Maybe you could put emphasis on some words or phrases.

  3. I like how you created a short story and still managed to create a rhythm even though it didn't rhyme

  4. This is what breaks my heart. To see a person with talent not keeping up with the work. :( Where are the other two poems?
