Love Dreams Among Other Schemes

Elwood Gene-Mishmah

Description

Every love dream is not just about love, but is about life, itself, and how to live an enjoyable, happy life bubbling with radiant love. Every dream is about some aspect of ourselves, whether we are cognizant of its meaning or message. Dreams can be categorized in many ways, for example physical dreams, lucid dreams, symbolic dreams, daydreams, and so forth. Love dreams are dreams of a personal nature, of inspiration, and always are meaningful. They are mirrors by which we relate to ourselves as well as others, in all areas of love relationships. These dreams are not limited to romance. They encompass self-love and from this insourcing, help us to learn how to better show love toward others, as well as to accept love showered on us from others. Love Dreams Among Other Schemes is a medley of poems and poetical writing to help the reader to balance, to harmonize, to synthesize, and maintain a wonderful appreciation of the beauty that can be gathered and experienced from one's dreams. The reader is sure to walk away with the desire for self-examination and exploration into dreams and love. Elwood Gene- Mishmah has been writing poetry since his teen years. He has self-published several other books of poetry. This is his third work which includes the themes of love and dreams. A fourth is forthcoming. Among his other published works are Resurrected Love and Romance, Primal Destiny, and Multicolored Dreams. He currently lives in Palm Coast, Florida.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
FACING TRANSPARENCY
After all this time perhaps, your beautiful body
was designed to be in sync with all my dreams.
The thought of tasting your honey, luscious lips
causes my backbone to do cartwheel backflips,

my pleading heart to part as wide as the ruddy,
muddy, Red Sea, flowing like River Jordan itself.
Certainly, your mystical charm captivates me in
portentious ways that vicariously blow my mind.

Forever, this longing to be free of your witchery
has, vehemently, penetrated my wildest desires,
Virtually, frightening the blazing, commercial
Sam Hell out of a capricious, antsy soul like me.

However, there’s never enough time to assure
if transparency is in accord with each new day.

Manipulating folks whose hearts are spent,
ruminating on things, lingering, of the past-

which should have long been forgotten- is
now proving to be an art, for dangling things
do transform into sordid attitudes that toss to
and fro in one’s mind like once colorful leaves,
now drying up in stagnant blue water of a lake.

However, like engineers who fail to bend, to go
with the flow, thus, they create unbelievable de-
signs. Using paltry devices so antiquated the in-
ventors can barely remember when their novel

creations, materialized, and if those innovations,
originating as new ideas, dawned on the horizons
of their creative, novel, fickle, or restless, narrow-
mindedness’ inceptions, counter-intuitively, or did

they merely puff up out of the blue, spontaneously,
linking up with anything that is relevant to life’s joy?

Such perspective is, wondrously, magical in of itself.
Thusly, however, you use your bouncy, black magic,

it is working like a musical, lucky charm because
just thinking of you, truly, mesmerizes and spins
one’s imagination elliptically in warped overdrive.
Ergo, in hindsight, not one, happy, soul can recall

ever to have caught a glimpse of you, as you truly
are - without all that pastel, make-up, and façade.
It is surely, an unbearable ordeal, too treacherous
to engage in, so now, the time has really arrived to

genuinely look within and also to dream purposely.
Determine, if you do desire to live by introspection,
or titivated altruistic, gaudy, self-imposed rejection.
Reality dictates truly, a beautiful body, you possess.

Yet, it’s time to awaken from la la land, and let it be.
Time to be free, to see within in facing transparency.
NOT YET
Still, depriving yourself of adequate sleep?
So, stop, look, really listen before you leap,
Even when you decide to step out on faith,

Because, who knows what tactic may prove
To be some advantageous act that prevents
You from multitasking like you normally do?

Perhaps, the best action to take is just wait,
See if tomorrow is a more opportune occa-
Sion to settle down as you, patiently, move

Happily, into your own well-earned groove,
Proof that surely, you truly can get your act
Together, if you incline your mind to do so.
SHORT ORDER COOK
You mean to say, you really got burned, again?
And, for three times? In repeated successions?
You mean, you were trying to put out the fires?
It is time to get the hell out of that kitchen and

Instead of attempting to cook, maybe the thing
To do, is "to book," run as fast as your weakly
Knees, faintly heart, and fleetly, feet take you.

There is absolutely nothing at all to really fear.
Needed truly is a change or brand-new career.

Like, think over it, what is your heart’s desire?
And, what really motivates your heart to sing?
Truly, deters you from setting your butt on fire?

To become a firefighter, you surmise is better.

Wish you lots of luck and much rainy weather,

And by the way, forget not when the folks say:
" Where there is hope and a will, there is a way,"
So, enjoy this marvelous, hot, sunny, May day.
SENSIBILITY
Okay, stop, look, listen before you leap, because
even whenever you decide to step out on faith,
who knows what new predicament might prove
to be most a disadvantageous task that prevents

you from duly multi-tasking as you, generally do?
Get your hot, fanny out of that kitchen and in-
stead of desiring to cook, maybe, the action to
take is to look deeper, search for other work or
check into a few additional, meaningful options.

If it’s still your heart’s one and only ardent desire,
That is, without doubt, a firefighter to certainly be,
Then, you must learn just how "to fight fire with fire."
To accomplish this act with grace, finesse, and poise,

it takes courage, determination, and the best way to
develop these traits is to really heed your inner voice.

And falling down on your knees, pray fervently with-
out decease for thunderclaps and sunshine and rain,

as a way of proving to yourself, prayer, duly, changes
things, and in its appeal, incredibly, it will assist you in
motivating the real you to become, masterfully, beyond
your wildest, craziest, propitious, or funkiest imagination.

By this process, you, also, may discover that to achieve all
things you’ve wanted in life has always been left up to you.
A QUASI-SENSIBLE REPEAT
And falling down on your knees, confess fervently with-
out decease, for thunderclaps, sunshine and also rain,
as a way of proving to yourself, prayer, really, changes
things, and in its appeal, incredibly, it will assist you to

motivate your true self in becoming masterfully, beyond
anything, you have imagined as a possibility for you, yet.
By this process, to you may be revealed that to achieve all
that you’ve wanted in life has always been left up to no one

but you, and how you use your mind and choices you make
ultimately, is the path to determine one’s own life’s destiny.
Confession is good for the soul; it helps you stay on your toes.
So, do you suppose a ballerina is what you were meant to be?
GOOD GRACIOUS
Tis truly a pity to cry over spilt milk or just whine,
or wallow in self-pity, drinking home-made wine,
or conterminously to dillydally, following behind
the stupid blind, who gloats in leading the blind.
