CINEMA DREAM
By Laura Maddox


I run through the halls
that lay secretly in my head.
Of cobblestone patterns
and hexagons shapes.

A movie drones on in my eyelids
of endearment and other foolish things.
The reel forms a cinematic snake
upon the floor.

I hear a repetitious rhythm as my feet
hit
the
ground.

In the
trapdoors of my thoughts
it's all black & white.

I continue towards
the boxes of things yet to be spoken
waiting behind my lips

to find a film strip
which I grab and press against
the window of my mind
to catch the moonlight.

A boy and girl
appear transparently in love,
displaying what I can only
wish for.

Inwardly I smile.

My hopes appear
rectangularly shaped on
thin cellophane like pieces.

"If only..."

Fluttering my eyes
I'm sent spinning back to reality.

Another
day
wasted
on

dreaming.

I'm Laura Maddox, a 19-year-old sophomore at Appalachian State University. I love to write, drink coffee, watch movies, cook, read and dream about one day living in a big city. I've never been in love but I don't let that stop me from writing love poems!
