this is beautiful :)

hm, my guess is tht this person doesn't live reality... stuck in dreams that'll never come true, he/she bleeds in pain and unable to think of the real freedom that lies within.

well done. ;)

I understand... it's like being able to see a whole different spectrum of colors that you never were meant to see, and knowing that you'll never be able to taste them and that you will spend your entire life trying to touch them for only the briefest moment.
It is only those who know what it is they can't have who are not free.

I like this . . . the pain of the creative process perhaps? The last verse is incredibly powerful . . . I think I'll put it on my faves. list.

One word. Stupendous.

hm..ich würde es eher umgekehrt sagen:
there is only freedom for those who dream

Ich hab ja was gegen die meisten Gedichte. Und wenn sie dann auch noch in Englisch sind... *puh*
aber das... das find ich gut. zu Deutsch: "Des daugt ma"

Interesting twist at the end there.

My interpretation was that those who focus too much on their dreams become slaves to their dreams. They work until no end today for what may or may not happen tomorrow.

Encompasses a very angsty feeling. I love the last stanza, though... short, but when put together, has an awesome message that really makes you think. Great work on the entire poem!

Great poem, and no it's not strange...atleast thats what I think!

Wow...that was awesome! It just made shivers run up my spine reading it. Such powerful use of words. Write more!

wow... this poem is so strong! such emotions in so few words...

well done.

that is REALLY good!

i love the loose style and the layout.

My fave three lines are

'I am caged

in a chamber

without walls'

funnily enough - one of my crappy poems i wrote had that meaning just in different words - something like this:

'trapped in the endless, wall-less, confines of my mind'.

well done - exclent poem , and thanks for reviewing my stuff!

Intriguing- I dunno, it's got a philosophical opinion for an end, and harsh, hurt images for the rest.

The beginning vividly describes what you are in the end with 'no freedom'; yet the idea that people 'who/ dream' are mentally or emotionally slaves to their dreams becasue they use them instead of life, or they can only see the dream and nothing else? The way that it says 'those who/ dream' sorta backs up that idea, because people who only ever dream... hm

beautiful!

I really like the first part, kinda reminds me of my poem The Stalker, not for the style but more for the idea of mysterious and silent suffering. I don't agree with the second stanza, because dreams are usually a way for the mind to escape.. If I go on with the earlier comparison, I explain in Daydream my way to escape from the stalker. Anyways, I still love your style!
