Dreams, Im Told

A Whimsical Poem about hard to remember dreams..

It has been said to write of ones dreams may seem cliché.
And to rhyme of butterflies just as mundane
yet just for the challenge, perhaps in vain
let me see if I can speak of both and spin it anew
but just as well to speak it plain
my dream slipped from me in the morning, not as a butterfly evading capture
but as a fish that was believed firmly in hand
and slipped free in an instant
Oh is it not such an irksome truth?
Vexing as it is mirthful, for it will goad yet charm
The need, nay the utter desire to evoke and grasp said dream
to Recall
and then to forget there was ever a dream to be remembered at all.

Im trying my best to write a few whimsical poems...i live writing so much about darkness and death and the super personal dark side of human beings and dark desire...that jeez...what a challenge it is for me to write this whimsical stuff...and it was FUN..i didnt feel like i should go to a psyche afterwards... :) im pretty proud of this poem...because ive always read from true "poets" that you should try your best NOT to use cliches like butterflies and dreams and all that...well...i challenged them...maybe i did well...maybe not..but im ok with this either way

*Note On every poem** all my poems are copyrighted and have codes to prove ownership ... While I doubt anyone here does this ..still have to say Don't steal other people's work wether a poem is good enough or not .... It's personal and directly speaks from the soul of the writer and to take their work and say it's yours ..it's wrong and unnatural ..your stealing a peice of them ...it's nothing to do with money or rights...it's so much more than that...its happened to me .. It can happen to anyone .. It hurts and I always speak out against it even if to most it seems pretentious...
