Liberate Your Dreams ... by harlon rivers




Unlock all those well hidden dreams
Breathe in their
hopeful impending bloom
The colour within
lay barren a swellen bud
yearning like a scorned lover 
thirsty for the bitter sweet 
Astir an unrequited memories ' afterglow
as they slowly wear away the soul


Time tiptoes past unnoticed ;
comes a time .., time came and went
Allusions of forbidden dreams 
of grandeur come unraveled ,  
erode away , everlastingly reshaped
Carved by kismet and circumstance
leaving a broken abrasive hindsight , 
like a mouthful of sweet lies


Uncage those secret buried treasures
beheld so closely a mind-made bastille
Unshackle your pining restless wings ;
cast loose the weight , the gravity borne alone ,
rise above to fly far and away
alighting beyond inborn fears 


Enkindle the soul’s shine in all its splendor ,
stirred by liberated dreams
Uplifted like soaring
diamond constellations brilliance  ,
enriching the harmony of the universe song


Bring to light the essence of verve ;
the inner shine ensconced by shadows
Unfetter that which chastens
the heart’s pulsing esprit


Embrace a feral anticipation 
Imbibe passionate dream's forbidden fruit
Unleash the tameless spirit within ,
pulsing through roiling  veins ,
absolving the raging and restless sole within


Staring inquisitively at the stars beyond the bounds
renewed by an unbridled dreamfulness
searching on a cloud for a lullaby
