Slumber

I pondered through my dreams torn asunder

buried in old booklets beneath my bed.

I found only fragments of faux reality

in which my dreamlit visions go unread.

In slumber I was lulled with roundelays

of a supernal love and reverie.

In slumber I was calmed with sanguine songs

which molded moments in my memory.

Indigo orbs staring from a portrait

of lucent beauty in a human shroud.

Sapphire seas reflect the solemn scarlet

of the sun gazing behind twilit clouds.

I pondered through days sculpted in silence

adorning the terrace beside my head. 

I found only my fear far in the fens

'neath shadows of rain pouring on my bed.

I like it. A portrait of slumber. A dream-like stage. All wonderful.

Wonderful poem! I enjoyed it very much! Though I had to look up some words since English isn't my first language
