A couple of years back, this poem has been nominated by the International Library of Poetry. I was allowed to post only 18 lines for the contest, so I never took the trouble to collect the prize. Now I publish this poem here, specially decicated to a fairy who briefly flew by and magically left a field of smiling flowers in the daylight of my heart. Here comes :


DREAMS and REALITY

DREAMS

oh stars, sprinkle your voice
over the eyes that sleepy rejoice
the songs of silent chords
and the aubergine satin of the night
after the sea has swallowed the light
reflects the spoken words

then the dreams start to unfold
of worlds we have never been told
that are the same and yet apart
and galaxies floating so far away
from our planet a globe of clay
smile our life into ageless art

the whisper of silence is invading
and removes the abandoned lading
from the spaceship of the mind
and the body that rests in peace
whilst the spirit flies overseas
leaves the yesterdays behind

dream, you make dawn from the dusk
and scents our thoughts with mirr and musk
while unfolding truth and lie
and you bring us to the spirit's vineyard
knowing what is easy what is hard
during life until we die

embraced by the arms of space and time
sunrise is announced by its blushy chime
while the flowers' pearldrops smile
and again are over the hours to learn
how eternity is that we will earn
after being here for a little while

REALITY
