Suilari
A Love Expressed Only in Dreams (Lojban)
Standard Definition:
A love that exists only in the realm of dreams, never realized in waking life.
Poetic Meaning:
The fleeting touch of a hand that vanishes with the morning light, a love so real yet unreachable, found only in the land of slumber.
Storytelling Etymology:
In Lojban, Suilari is formed from sui (to dream) and lari (love), representing a love that is confined to the subconscious, where it thrives beyond reality’s grasp. It is the love of dreamers, of lost souls searching for each other in the night.
Cultural Context & Symbolism:
Many myths and legends speak of dream-lovers, of souls that find each other beyond the waking world. Suilari is the love that lingers just beyond reach, in the space where reality and fantasy blur.
Poem:
I sought you once in waking life,
But found you only in the night.
A shadowed touch, a whispered name,
A dream that never fades the same.
Reflection:
Some loves are meant to live in dreams, untouched by the weight of reality.
