Dark Dreams
the darkest of dreams are those we hold close to our heart..................
in these hollow places we hide our pain......................................................
for once in a while a dream expires............................................................
under the crushing weight of possibilities...............................................
and in the space it leaves a corpse..............................................................
of half forgotten fancies..................................................................................
our hearts are graveyards for broken dreams...............................................
and fate has made us walking tombs...........................................................
we bury ourselves alive inside.....................................................................
and only the poppies above know of the beauty beneath.............................
and only the poppies.....................................................................................
(anon)
