Description I dress in dreams
naked as truth
my mind threadbare
through dark obscurity

Adapting rags
to nightgown flows
sewing fictions into
prose

A woven world
evolutionary spandrel
a balanced equation
coming undone

where I cloak in confusion
shroud in clouds
and a cushioned mind
faces light

Unravelling expectation
to windswept -why?-'s
Stitching asymmetry into
design

extracts of vogue
style my narrative
fashioning archetypes
that sleep naked

"Unravelling expectation

I adore that stanza. <333
I love how you used "naked" in the title and in the poem to mean exposed, or vulnerable. It's as if you're inviting the reader to allow his or her dreams to flow freely, by letting their mind go where it wants to in their sleep.

I am constantly fascinated by my dreams because I remember them almost every night. I try to dissect them to make some sense of them.. (:

Your poem is amazing!

I'm being quoted! And Yeah you interpret correctly!

I barely remember my dreams atm, but I kept a dream journal for a year or so and could remember up to 6 dreams a night sometimes which had me writing for an hour and a half each morning- also why I stopped, no time.

But dreams are ever fascinating! Jung, myths dreams and symbols is something you should page around in, and have a look at this too! article

I'm still trying to Paint the image of this poem, but I need to get new canvas first

Happy dreaming!

It is certain that at some point, all great art is discovered. Art in the making, one person at a time.

I agree... but it is nice to be on the "to be discovered" end Thanks for your time!

I don't know if I understand it all, but it's a beautiful poem all the same. Dreaming fascinates me as well, particularly because my own dreams are so vivid and often very different from what my life is really like. I'm actually writing a series on my dreams past and present if you would like to take a look at it. Look for anything in my Gallery that has "TDP" in the title. It's short for "The Dream Pool" which is the title of the series.

We wrap ourselves
in colors of the day
like a beautiful tapestry
some harsh in hues
that cloud the mind
our thoughts
softly unravels
thread by thread
till we are free
from all that binds us...
