Dreams Believe

I lie back upon the haze
and my thoughts carry me
over icy memories that
still wash over me
with the same sadness as before
Dreams believe
but do I?

Feel the ghost of a kiss
and suddenly I feel so upset
I don't want, I just need
but my mind is so unsure
I can never be certain even of myself
Dreams believe
but do I?

If I could sleep in the darkest room
within the loneliest city
I'd understand why I feel at one
with the fading skyline
I'd watch the light fade
and wish I'd disappear with it
Dreams believe
and so do I

There's a song which gives me this kind of feeling whenever I hear it. It's weird 'cause I don't even know the meaning of that (Korean) song yet it gives such poignancy.

I always like poems which has a touch of solidarity in it. Very well-written Ell ^_^

This is quite brilliant that "dreams believe, but do I?" To externalise the whole concept of the dream is unusual but I like it. The depth of feeling unsettled comes through beautifully. Penny

The last stanza was beautiful.

There are parts I feel everyone should agree on the feeling.

I like the story it tells! Well done.

I feel like its an amalgamation of desperation and hope. Its lovely and filled with questions unanswered.

I love this, wow. I can really relate and you painted such a vivid image in my mind. Idk I feel a connection to this poem, like you feel the same way I do at times. Really nice poem, one of my new favorites.
