Windermere Dreams

By RubyXero

I peeled back the petals
of the flower
nostalgia...
Its scent was refreshing
colors vibrant
but the aftertaste...
left my throat choking
on the memories
of a beautiful
and innocent life,
long forgotten...

A former member wrote: wonderful write... wondering what dreams mean? do you actually mean "the symbology" they contain? or just the symbology of visions in them? Id like to know more about that... your poem was beautiful.

...sounds like something dark lurking behind the beauty & innocence. dreams tell us things that we dont expect...

One by one perhaps, he loves me, he loves me not... We'll always wonder about what might have been, thanks Ruby.

very interesting topic, and sometimes dream interpritation can be black and white. i used to have a book of definitions on symbolizism of dreams and it was helpful because some dreams make no sense! but others have a very clear secret to be had. its very intersting though. i recommend a book of dream meanings. its fascinating to know. its almost like a psyhcic reading or getting a tarot done! awesome poem ruby.
