I adhere dreams as stars to the blackened
Chambers of any heart that has ever
Tried, through incrimination, to possess
Me. Under chloroform skies I sleep in
A world where the colors are still mine
To embellish, in a world that neither
Defers to extrinsic authorities nor
Condemns my Bohemian nature

Finally I wrote! Writer’s block or maybe confidence block not sure which
Submission for

Love this, particularly now that I know you have such interesting dreams..it adds another level to the poem where I wonder which dreams, in particular, inspired these words. Brilliant as ever my friend! 🙂
Awwww thank you =) I wish I remembered more dreams because they are interesting lol
hmmm…feels good to write when you get stuck doesnt it…smiles..adhering dreams to the heart is cool, stars seems a weird word in that context…chloroform skies is a cool description…and hey i am all for bohemian
Thank you so much Brian =) I associate stars with wishes and dreams haha
I had writer’s block as a songwriter for years… I am finally writing music again, and I feel like the luckiest man in the world. I just sit and play at my piano and smile. Love this poem… “extrinsic authorities….” My favorite line.
Thank you Ray! I get it sometimes generally its a matter of my confidence obscuring my vision so to speak. Typically if I keep trying they don’t last too long but if I give up they can last months or even years
It’s an awful feeling when what you want to say can’t be put into words (or music). Very frustrating. I had it for years, musically. I have written 18 songs this year so far… I haven’t written in 20 years. Such wonderful therapy to write. Hope your streak continues!
20 years is a long block wow that must have been painful. It is very frustrating
It had alot to do with my personal life and what I’m currently going through…. (divorce). Intrinsically entwined.
I understand there are some things too painful for me as well
I definitely get the idea from this poem that in your dreams you have FREEDOM. The colors are yours (not someone else’s), and your Bohemian nature is nourished rather than repressed. I like the idea that in one’s dreams one can be whoever one wishes to be..and sometimes (I think) we find out just who this is by paying attention to our dreams.
I think so too =) I have lucid dreams (some times) where I have 100% control and I can make any scenario I wish to live out (obviously I can’t do that in real life lol) Its a great way to see my stories
Writer’s block is frustrating. It wears one down! Glad it’s all over. True enough dreams can trigger off a start for ideas! Nicely!
