Poets Dream of Dreaming
Perfection sees with diamond eyes
Facets bend light to build a pleasing picture
And multiple hues glisten on an angels face.
This kaleidoscope shows me a world so beautiful
Compared to the unbent, unrefined, uninterrupted light of day
This view is a marvelous show of light and color but no shadow
No hidden lie lies in the world seen with diamond eyes.
Even sleep does not allow a poet, a heart in love, to escape these views
They permeate the world without regard to conscious state
For a lover dreams of dreams of passion shining these hues.
Casting reds and yellows to the hearts of the sorrowed
Burning their hearts and blazing the fuel that is love
Blue invades the cool relaxing the tension of want and need
Green brings serenity to those lost in loves labored creation
Purple excites the pleasure of lavish desire
Orange mellows the day and brings with it evening
The sun sets and sinks the sky to a matching color
And the world cools, the world seen with diamond eyes.
A poet dreams of dreaming and sees a world more perfect,
A world so beautiful it outshines the terror of life,
A poet dreams of lovers with diamond eyes.
