We are thrilled to debut Shahd Thani‘s poetic piece inspired by the April Theme “Dreams” where she uses the imagery of poetry to showcase her emotions and talents. Enjoy!
I climb stairways in search of my dreams
On and on, the bannisters sway
Polished wood gleams
My lumbering steps, heavy
Clumsy as I plunge endlessly
When I haven’t even begun to climb
Glass slippers shatter
Shards piercing my skin
I bleed upon the marble floor
Your reflection, shivers
Within crimson mirrors
I fall asleep upon raven’s feathers
Burrowing into the darkness
Craving the warmth of your fire
My soul searching for yours
A hopeless kiss upon iced lips
And life breathed into me
I hold on to nothing
I hold on to everything
All my fairy tales
All my hopes
My heart barely begins
To feel full
Before it’s empty again
And, you, my desperate desire,
My incandescent weakness
Will you ever know how much of my strength
Hangs upon your selfless heart?
All my dreams
And you,
my love,
are lost
Inconceivable
Unattainable
Utterly beyond my reach
Dissipating into the morning light

And, you, my desperate desire,
My incandescent weakness
Will you ever know how much of my strength
Hangs upon your selfless heart?

Im so blessed to have known you as a friend and as a fellow poet. Gorgeous words as always. May your pen always be blessed beautiful! x
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I loved it especially this part:
I fall asleep upon raven’s feathers
Burrowing into the darkness
Craving the warmth of your fire
My soul searching for yours
A hopeless kiss upon iced lips
And life breathed into me

Thank you for all the kind words and encouragement.
Amazing work as always. I can really relate to this, trying to reach out for something , wanting it so terribly and yet something tells you that you may not obtain it… I guess everyone has. lol but I usually dismiss that voice and try to keep the hope alive , b5t9ar a89 3la 3mry and believing it. Positive attraction they say ~ xD I truley hope and wish that everyone finally reaches the top of that staircase, I really do. Awesome work, you are really talented and looking forward to more ❤
