Sleep Is But A Pit (Tanka)

Sleep is but a pit

Black, void of anything real

What is all the hype

Dreams do not exist for all

Some simply sleep in darkness

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

 

I’ve Been Called Foolish (Tanka)

I’ve been called foolish

Unconventional, dreamer

Happiness abounds

Maybe that is my secret

To living a joy filled life

Do You Live To Dream (Tanka)

Do you live to dream

Never feeling life’s fullness

Is this what you want

To waste the time you have here

Missing all that life offers

Incredible Is This Gift (Acrostic)

Incredible is this gift given to the homosapien

Man’s God-given ability to dream

Allowing the subconscious to come to the forefront

Giving the illusion of reality

Ingrained so deeply yet out of our control

Natural as breathing or the beat of our hearts

And yet it is overlooked and treated as fancy

Tilled into the earth, buried for eternity

Isn’t it strange how the mind plays its games

Omnipotent in its ability to set lifes stage

Ne’er leaving a trace when exposed to the light of day

Signs Are Everywhere (Tanka)

Signs are everywhere
If only we had courage
To live out our dreams
But like the acrophobic
We are paralyzed by heights

Is Life a Vision

Is life a vision–

A dream of our creation

Like a childs game

Lived in a homemade costume

Pulled from our minds own toy box

I really don’t know

Would it be so terrible

Living a charade

So long as it makes us happy

During this finite voyage

Another Dawn

Another dawn,

Sun breaching the adjacent apartment building.

This window open to the vibrant street below.

Oh, were I strong enough to step out,

To join the masses in the frivolity of the day,

But lo!  I am not so bold.

Day after day, Mitty-like I sit,

Alone with my thoughts

Dreaming of what could be,

What could have been,

The chivalrous me,

Rescuing damsels in distress,

Storming the castle,

Slaying the dragon,

Saving the day,

Or simply stepping foot on the sidewalk below,

Is that too much to ask?

I don’t know,

But one can dream can’t they?

Word: Mitty –  Meaning: noun: An ordinary, timid person who indulges in daydreams involving great adventures and triumphs.

Tired Eyes – A Tanka

Closing tired eyes

Crickets sing their blissful song

Calling me to dream

A tale written just for me

By the artist in my mind

Endless Possibilities – A Haiku

Out of simple thoughts

Come the greatest inventions

Don’t dismiss your dreams
