On the blurred edges of my dreams,
where i search for you each night,
I found you once waiting for me,
smiling at me,or maybe on my plight.
It was a dream i know for sure,
you stood as the royal unicorn,
I remember just your smiling face
as time witnessed a tryst of souls.
You told you will wait till eternity,
but I was forbidden to yet,sleep forever,
unless I was done with spreading love
that was meant for you,but shared never.
There was some one else,worthy around
who would hold me just like I always wished,
the way I see in my dreams each night,
he is the one,the true anchor of my ship.
Saying so you left me on doors of dawn
to open my heart and let love rule it again
to make space for the cheerful dreams
and let your memories wash away the pain.
Each night since then,I dream of you
full of pride and care,my royal unicorn
to me you always will be the real star
no matter who says “you are no more”.
This poem was first written as inspired by the pic in the post, it was edited and lengthened to be submitted to the feature magazine Fried Eye. Posting it after its been published there in their latest volume.

People are never really gone if their memory lives on… and that is really a beautiful way to be remembered.Have a great day.
To me the unicorn is the beautiful and loving spirit of our true nature that we forget to remember as we go about our days. And when we do tap into that deeper place within it may feel like a dream. But then again, maybe this is the dream and the unicorn is the truth. Beautifully expressed. Peace, Sharie
this is such a beautiful poem…and the symbolism is breathtaking…
take your time….
let me know after you are done…
Beautiful imagery. Love the pic too.
This was so so lovely! I’m glad they still believed in the unicorn…it would be sad if no one did.
Your words fit the picture very well, Lady Nimue.
The melancholy tone makes me want to wish your dream true.
After all, it is we who decide what is real, and what is an illusion.
