dream patterned

dream patterned with greens and fogs: a danky drape covering and hiding the eyes swirling, dancing, perpetual moving - sun flare chop and scorch burn the withered sundrop crop the flicker and glare of an impossible arrangement of sensual and glee. a backwards sense of falling up yet never reaching ground flying through the clouds - feet first then grasp behind and turn around the spiral - the crimson string flying softly not so quiet away. bleeding inside from the without. seventeen going on twelve, a new balloon speaks quietly, returning to a secret kept so perfectly so radiant; it bursts. green and purple hues and haze that shade the cold, keep the wolves and calls for spirit left deep and far away. a whisper only echoes in the silence freed. going on forever more to be seen glib, not skewed. tire swing with broken wing, radio in tune - foster green, may be seen indefinite, while a nothing hiding nothing seeking everything sneeks up to claim his prize. burning sense of sensational hedgegrowth; bottled empty can been hollowed out. build, create, unbuild, go blind - a fire flyer glowing too bright for eyes to see - a petticoat left under the dresser slides around so glamorously. a book that closed itself to me has grown quite so full. pry open pages to discover a picture worth no more than words - not one. then pile it within the sourness that humidifies our skin. dreams left uncontrolled, unchanged, patterns of the mind. a green mist fogging up my glasses as i breathe the days last sigh.

Grammar! Your prior poems reeked of bad grammar, so does this one. You have good ideas, but believe it or not, you actually have to say them good too.
