All Deviations




A little black cloud in a pale landscape
mirrors the black hole of time.
'Is it the voice of the wind?
You hear made whole within me.'

Summer has long gone.
My dreams are faraway dreaming me to life
and my eyes walk into another country.
'In dreams I have a good job
that allows me to go back and forth,
in time like clouds in the sky.'

Ghosts of summers past and of summer's future
remind us of forgotten adventures and precious broken toys.

Dandelions breeze into the ripples of another time,
not much unlike upside down swans watching the clouds.

Little black clouds feel too much.
Words seldom said dreamily;
sleep talked in birds nests,
dreams tangled in branches
and heart-shaped leaves.
Breezing into a dream from another dreamer,
missing pieces of sleep, regaining my love to believe.
Dandelions are not unlike clouds sowing dreams.
Time goes fast even in dreams; regaining my faith to love,
the weight of complexity drifts away instead.

Little fluffy clouds disintegrate into teary hearts.
Rising above life's challenges,
'she's a rainbow hopping into puddles.'

Her eyes weep stars looking for the beauty in everything,
His eyes turn to the moon staring into space.
Both accept success and disappointments with the same grace.
'In dreams we don't have to dream.'

Clouds wrapped in clouds scared of drowning,
bring love to dreams once overwhelmed with shadow.
Tonight my eyes allow me to swim over too you.

Heavy inspiration from Michel Gondry's The Science of Sleep.
IMDb: [link]
Close your eyes. Open your heart.
[first lines of the Science of Sleep]
Stephane: Un, dos, tres, cuatro!
[Stephane plays the drums, then the piano, then moves the cameras. "Stephane TV"]
Stephane: Hi, and welcome back to another episode of "Television Educative". Tonight, I'll show you how dreams are prepared. People think it's a very simple and easy process but it's a bit more complicated than that. As you can see, a very delicate combination of complex ingredients is the key. First, we put in some random thoughts. And then, we add a little bit of reminiscences of the day... mixed with some memories from the past.
[adds two bunchs of pasta]
Stephane: That's for two people. Love, friendships, relationships... and all those "ships", together with songs you heard during the day, things you saw, and also, uh... personal... Okay, I think it's one.
[Red smoke comes out of the pot].

**This is partly unfinished i'm gonna make
a collage of a recipe for dreams being cooked up
to accomany this poem, please keep an eye out for that.**

I normally don't favourite poetry. But, I couldn't help it. This is dedicated to Science of Sleep. And it's such a good poem for it!
:love:

Ah! I love movies. Eternal Sunshine is a really great film. It's so well put together. Science of Sleep seemed so surreal. But, that's just the way Michel Gondry's mind works. Wes Anderson is another one of my favorite directors. He did the movies, The Life Aquatic, The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore, and The Darjeeling Limited. I don't know if you've seen any of them, but they're pretty amazing.
Sorry for rambling about movies. But, yes. They're so good.
:hug: G'job with this piece!

I agree and I enjoyed those so much
Gondry's films are like dreams
and are so thought provoking
and I'm familiar with Wes Anderson's films
and I enjoy them too haven't seen Darjeeling Limited yet though :hug:

In this Chaos and burning I find a way to release, these are my words, these words set me free, This is my breath of life, this is me, in my free colored and spirited world of poetry.
