The Perfect Dream of You

In my dreams,

Lie your sweet perfection…

The truest love song ever written,

Brightest candle ever lit,

Fullest moon in darkest night.

 

Pretending to wish you by my side…

Just a game,

For my heart already knows,

Perfect Reality,

Could not survive harsh daylight.

 

Still, I find, sweet dreams of you,

Keep me going, striving, reaching, growing,

Beyond surviving…

 

For these untainted reveries of you,

Lay nestled inside… a perfect world of bliss;

My Future Heaven.

 

-Gilda Patricia

(A letter addressed to my Higher/Future Self.)

Transformation

All the shards,

Of my broken heart,

Scattered,

Like road-kill,

On the dusty highway of life,

After crashing head long,

Into your cold-blooded, 

Metallic heart.

 

Transformed in the Light,

Of grace and forgiveness…

My broken pieces,

Have now become,

As a beach full of shells,

Happily resting in the warmth of God’s love;

Counted as One with,

 His most Precious Collection.

Book Lover-Kaulayaw

Beautifully packaged,

In bright-colored jackets,

Waiting for me,

Waiting for me.

 

Good books,

Never pressure,

Or push me,

To open their pages.

 

And when I’m ready,

I read as fast and as much,

As I choose!

Gracious books.

 

So selflessly giving,

A story,

At my fingertips,

Awaiting my perusal.

 

Revealing richness, depth,

Mystery, secrets, 

Beauty, love,

And wisdom untold.

 

Nothing withheld,

As my interest,

And curiosity peak,

Becoming fully engaged;

 

Unfazed by daily distractions,

Satiated and satisfied,

Buried deep,

Within the pages.

Dangerous Bedfellows

Out on a limb,

 Hanging over the precipice,

 Terrifying and thrilling, all at once,

This risky business, of being me.

 

Does life offer a more sensible solution?

Would it be better,

To “lie” around in bed,

With the living dead, instead?

 

Wrapped up,

Nice and tight,

With my “comforter,”

Of false security?

 

Siping with vampires and zombies;

Those depleting,

And troublesome bedfellows!

Sacrificing my life blood?

 

No thanks!

I’d rather dip my toes,

In humanity’s living sea,

Swimming naked, shameless and free…

 

Risking being me.

Before My Eyes!

Crossing over multidimensional lines,

Where dreams,

Simultaneously collide,

In vividness and color,

 

Closing the gap,

Of separation,

And erasing,

My sense of loss.

 

Pupils dilate,

In fascination, wonder and awe,

As eagles soar,

On wings of Love.

 

Unearthing and retrieving,

Lost pieces of me;

Discovering a new country,

Of freedom.

Playing Savior

Every day,

I take a step,

and each day,

you walk,

away.

 

If only…

you would,

 get close enough,

to catch a glimpse,

of my Light,

 in your pupils.

 

Why won’t,

you let me,

save you?

Independent Cords

As the stars hung softly,

In the night sky,

You serenaded around me,

Moonlight dancing,

In your eyes.

 

Coaxed,

By a tone of sincerity,

In your wooing,

Heady from your,

Sweet words spinning,

 

My heart-strings took to vibrating,

reverberating strongly,

And of their own ac-cord;

An accompaniment, 

To your soothing vocals.

 

Is my heart really fluttering?

Perhaps, it’s just the wind.

 

-Gilda Patricia

 

Day 13 word- Harana (n.) The act of wooing someone by serenading him or her.
