" Dreammembering" Awash in the 8th sea of prelimerence as endless as the ocean Dreammembering a time of life defined by love's devotion creating moments that feel as real as now yet out of reach We held hands then and walked upon a perfect golden beach Golden light on the curve of cheek and your mane's dark chocolate strands We redefined "ourself" with loving eyes and touching hands Thoughts between our heart-minds making promises unspoken All our times of life on earth we hoped to share as one unbroken Reality cleaves our dream's edge as consciousness reawakens a sense of dread, the pang of loss, as love's left there forsaken prelimerence merged low on Wildcat beach by high tide it's enthralled We leave it weep-singing love's parting song like Alamere falls
Alamere Falls is a wilderness falls that empties a lake near a California coast that is accessible(Officially) only by a trail on Wildcat beach, that beach trail is submerged during high tide. It seems fitting the waterfall makes a weeping song, or the 8th sea would be of sea of pre-limerence and the freshwater mixing with the saltwater at the falls could weep a melody and the sound of parting from the lake and merging with the ocean itself could cry as they do in the dream theme. Weep-singing seems fitting to me. I referenced the beach trail here in this poem as the symbolic shutting off ( submerging) of the dreaming-remembering love state when awakening. I invented some words and places here combining dream with remembering and the nonexistent 8th sea which I define as an almost subconscious βemotional sea of hearts waiting to fall in love=prelimerence..β The term pre-limerence I've tacked together to describe the state of being in love with the idea of being in love, the state people are in before finding someone to be in limerence with. "Ourself" as being two people defined as "Two combined consciousness's of one self" Heartminds refers to the neuronel cells in the heart that communicates with our minds, and I suspect other hearts and minds as well. leaving it here before I destroy it all with overthinking,
