The Violet Dream

This was written way back when I was still in third year high school. It has undergone a lot of revisions, Kuya Neil's advices do work with poetry most, if not all, of the time, that so much of the stuff you'll be reading is a lot different from the original one, obviously. Haha!

The Violet Dream
by Rudolph C. Anongos Jr.


Lengthy words cannot express
When I'm lost the doubts possessed
Of thinking of submission
To my gloomy thoughts alone
You are the silver lining
I've so longed to get hold of

Your deep-set violet eyes
Pierce far down beyond my own
Hush now my dearest one
I will thaw your wintry nights

Inside my warmest embrace
Bitter memories may fade
And with your gentle repression
My pools of disquietude
Dry up, succumb to your lips

Overwhelmed by sadness
Simply because of my fear
Of letting go while here
Afloat on a waveless sea

Our inhibitions subside
Heartbeats quicken such as that
Time spares an ephemeral shift
To give way throughout the night

Feel my warmth and hold my hand
Feel my lips press yours softly
Your nightmares are chocolate stains
Washed away by suppressed tears

Hush now. Hush. Be calm, be still.
Feel my lips press yours softly
Utter not words of disbelief
Harbor not, feelings of guilt
Instead, close your eyes
I'll cover us with quilts
And beside you I will sleep
To nowhere will I go
For you are my violet dream
Dreams come true for all I know
