Nocturnal Travels. (An Original Poetry)

Image Source

Sundown heralds joy,
for the light hearted.
like a swift, swiftly gliding.
we're levitating
in the solemness of the air
unburdened by only thoughts
that weights nought
stern is the soul
freely flowing like a fern
gushed over by overflowing water

Tonight we travel,
on broomsticks
like ticks on tiptoes
sweetly tasting the moon,
on our horny tongues.
like Aladdin on magical mats
our faith is but wings
that takes us through flames
back and forth
and yet we're unburnt!

We will reach the peak,
and slowly ascend,
like an orgasm!
the darkness will guide us,
into darker darkness!
for the road ahead
is an onion that unfurls Uncertainty!
by and by, light will peep in,
and halt us from exploding
into shards and mirrors

Our Nocturnal Travels,
will come to a halt!
when the owls,
in frightening hours
hoots piercingly
to serrate the silence of morning
our voyage to the Vikings
will slowly shudder
off our memories like cobwebs
spurn on the memories

Poetic Analysis And Literary Appreciation.

Nocturnal Travels is a beautiful free verse that speaks about dreams. The title itself is a metaphorical expression that tends to give more meaning to the word dream the dreamscape is a world on its own and definitely it seems like a cocoon where we exist as an alter ego. It could be a nightmare, or a beautiful dream, but the above poem paints a picture of a voyage, an experience and also a mind-bending adventure into places that naturally only our subconscious can go to.

Nocturnal travel is a metaphysical piece that draws attention to ordinary things that might mean a lot or might not. The dreamscape In this piece was painted as a travel and then some verses places allusions to places like the Vikings, Aladdin and a whole lot of mythical adventures.

The poem also describes the fact that dreaming can be an addiction especially if it seems pleasant, the last two verses speaks about how the day will break and restore reality and this was painted using unfriendly words that describes the breaking of dawn. The poet persona seems to embrace the fact that he didn't like the fact that the breaking of day will eventually happen and halt the beautiful experience of traveling.
