I, the Dreamer



Dream is the best thing left to a bereft man if someone so dear to him is too far, just to bring that someone dear near. It is where the horizons of thought and reality converge to bring a temporary delusion; making things feel so real at a moment, just enough to comfort the lonely soul and severe depression to find out the illusion the moment it is over. It is either the dream is the feeling of missing the events of the past by repeating it in virtuality or a creative dream that fantasizes the achievements of a seemingly impossible goal. In any case, it creates an easement to someone who misses his dearly beloved. However, the tangible is better or the best, nothing like the 'concrete' wrapped in his arms. But then again, in moment of being asundered in tangibility, dreaming is the only thing left to make it real. Why then does he dream? Firstly, he misses the object by making it the subject in his dream and secondly, it is the soul's language to speak off its goals. The dream is the goal, and to keep a goal is to strive to attain it. The dream is the puller of men towards its fulfillment. Dream is the 'attractor'. It lures men to find ways to its attainment. Yet for the unspirited, they can just shove it away as delusion. But for the dreamer induced with passion, will, determination, perseverance, the dream is his chase towards the beautiful life. The life worth living by taking the endeavour by following it and the life worth dying once the dream is achieved. As every breath is labored to make the vision a mission and the mission to action; it is what is making men live and that is to follow their dreams. Lofty dreams are to those who shed no will to act upon them, but are motivations to those who stood up to the challenge. The dream is set, but the road yet to be uncovered. We all know or believed that there is gold in the East, yet we have to make a map out of it by venturing to uncertainty between us and the goal. However, the future is but a misty sea, we could only set to believe that there is land, hoping that there is really one while sailing towards the unknown. The dream is the future we longed for, an event we want to be tangible in the present-being that we will soon be encoutering or we could but only hope. Nonetheless, we thrive to make it certain, make it feel that what we believed for will come true. Real enough to be felt by the skin and real enough to be held. Though the sea be misty, we could only believe that there is land ahead.

I have laid unto myself a goal that I believed in. I believed that she could be what I am looking for and I strive to be at her pedestal.  To share a life here and beyond for all of eternity. I am in my conquest for paradise and that I believed she is my Eden. Gladly, I am now at the moment of endeavour. Thriving to win her heart  as if winning God's favor. Beseeching the heavens for blessings and the strength to endure the pace and the voyage that I had set myself upon. I have yet to uncover the path, to draw yet a map that leads from where I stand to where her heart lies. A Columbus yet to find the New World. It is the secret in her heart that I would strive to unravel, the secret that seems to be not, to be trivial, it is what they call love. But beyond that word alone, I want that secret to reveal unto me as the betrothed that no words could ever encapsulate the magnaminity of the experience. For I have already made thee my betrothed and there is no greater happiness for me that I am to be yours also.

Dream. Dream. Dream. I have been the dreamer, and still I am the dreamer. I could only hope that I would die in peace and believing that in my grave and as soon as your time comes to pass, that you'll lie beside me smiling and passed  happily that I too was your dream.

Fin?

  Last 2012, there were hearts on fire that both had their first shared flame in an unlikely place. I was thirsty for love coming from being dormant while she was searching for a redemption from a series of broken hearts. Both struggled to find their place. Both trying to live their lives free from the hideous chains of a dark home. I must admit that I fell for her beauty and add to that, her care. As we both clasped our hands, it was a committed long shot to have the perfect rest for our hearts. It was a bit strange to have an affair under the noses of all that is forbidden both profession and a line of faith. Nothing was wrong as long both were in the ecstasy of love – no malice, no foul play, no trespassing of wills. That moment was a perfect episode in a romantic film – one where young love sprang amidst treacherous circumstances. We lived through the happiness of newfound belongingness and the battle of keeping that alive. 4 years before the wedlock were filled with ups an...

November in My Heart

I never thought I got to see you up close as you walked out of the airport’s terminal exit. I never thought that I got to hold your hand last Friday, neither could I believe that we hugged and kissed as we went to our friend’s car. Your voice never felt so real, and never felt so up close for a very long time. I could not believe the ride to the hotel, hearing you laugh, lending me your handkerchief as I was still sulking in disbelief. Your hands felt so real while you were pressing them hard as I was still emotional. It felt like bliss when you ate your first chicken joy meal in 7 months while getting shocked seeing the cake with a small bundle of roses. You told me that you felt like a woman, and that statement rang in my head because I successfully made you feel like one. And I took a photo of you with your advanced birthday presents. Just 6 days ago, we made love after a long 7 dry month period. Your hugs and kisses were not any more fantasies, but realities. I could not believe ...

Third Wedding Anniversary: A Reflection

It has been three years and I have never regretted nor doubted the fact of my marriage to her. The decision was borne out of choice and borne out of love and if it was not, I could have moved on and changed my direction when our relationship was challenged and cut off during those years. Yet, I chose to stay not because of conscience nor was I forced to but because I truly love her. Stern as I am, I rarely give my heart to people. I can relate and talk with almost anybody, but most of the times they are simply mechanical as if I was condemned to interact given the situation that I am in. However, I am the kind of person who carefully selects who to be intimate with. I can be there for anybody, but I chose not to because I can only be with someone who I know is worth it. My wife is worth it. We had so much conflict before, especially when she was still in the process of overcoming a problematic home environment, role confusion and deep sense of self-pity coming from self-doubt. Ha...
