I dreamt of all of you
In a time when I was
unhappy, yet in retrospect
they were the best years
of my learning how to
forget about happiness
and how to see the world
as it is, fundamentally neutral:
good and evil both won
And you, I was carrying you
in particular, the marked body
of a g-dess and the marked
soul of a man:
complicated, confused,
but happy, emotional
glad to see the faces
once relegated to
nothing, but now
everything in the end
emotional, happy,
and rooted in the earth
from which I grew
I carried you
but there were too
many cups to remove
from the bed
of our time:
happy, emotional
rooted

great stuff, except for the last stanza...what the f*ck does that mean? Too many cups to remove from the bed?
word verif: felst
That's what I dreamt.
dreams make the best poems sometimes,
this poem is really rich with images, and metaphors...i like the cups part, it's open because it's so obscure.
good dreaming!
I think you could try not explaining the emotions as much. leave that to the reader, the poem should show that, not tell it.
c-cups, eh.
ha! hope not.
i like this alot.
hmmm.. why would you dream that there were cups in your bed i wonder? have you been doing alot of dishes lately?

Cups
To see a cup in your dream, represents love, nurturance and the womb. The cup may also signify healing, rejuvenation, and healing.�Alternatively, it indicates a transcendence into a realm of higher consciousness. Is the cup half-full or half-empty? Do you see life from an optimistic or pessimistic point of view.
To see a cup with a broken handle, indicates your feelings of inadequacy and anxieties of being unable to handle a particular situation.
To see a broken cup in your dream, denotes feelings of powerlessness, guilt and/or low self-esteem. Perhaps you feel unqualified or inadequate in dealing with a situation.
Beds
To see your bed in your dream, represents you intimate self and discovery of your sexuality. If you are sleeping in your own bed, then it denotes security and restoration of your mind.�You may be looking for domestic bliss, for peace or for some form of escape. If you are waking up in a different and/or unknown bed, then it represents the consequences of the decisions you have made.�The dream may also be a pun on the completion of a project and putting it to bed.
To dream that you are searching for a bed, suggests that you are having difficulties acknowledging your intimate self. You may be feeling inhibited in expressing your sexuality. Alternatively, it may also mean that you are looking for domestic security and happiness.
To dream that you are floating or lifting up into the air from your bed, suggests that you are feeling helpless and� disconnected from those around you. Your ideas may be alienating people. You might need to tone down your personality a bit.
Bedroom
To dream that you are in the bedroom, signifies aspects of your self that you keep private. It is also indicative of your sexual nature and intimate relations.
