Broken Dreams.

Broken Dreams.

 

Secret chambers of the mind.

Reality is born to be unkind

Words forbidden to be spoken

Ghosts haunting the corners.

Dreams of peace are broken.

    The words being forbidden struck a chord with me… at home we had only three responses allowed: 1- yes 2- no and 3- I don’t know. 🙏🏻🕊️

          Wisdom in verse feels prophetic in some way but poetic in every way. Loved it

          Your poem is hauntingly beautiful! The imagery is vivid and evocative, and it effectively conveys a sense of longing and despair. Well done!!!

          Secret chambers of the mind... how true that is. Reality can be cruel, but revealing, too. I like the message your poem conveys. I thought about the hidden secrets of the mind. Thank you for the strong reality check. Excellent!
