It’s too broad
Reign it in
Slow it down
Use your head
Stop daydreaming
Grow up
They tear you down
Narrow your dreams
Force conformity
Push back
Keep your head in the clouds
Feel everything
Experience it all
Never stop dreaming

Quick sand
The mind
Past pulling me down
No escaping
No living in the now
Only dreams
No breath
No life
Chained by the ankle
Will run when beast is sleeping
No escape for now
Heartbeats synchronized
Bodies intertwined
She senses love
From the twins within
Her belly their home
Together they grow
Heartbeats synchronized…

A mask for today
One for tomorrow
For you I’ll wear this
For him I’ll wear that
I’ll play the character
For each occasion
No one will know me
Not even myself

On a stool
She sat bare
Organic and corporeal
Her imperfections
Her beauty
On display
For all observers

She wakes. A brightly shining sun and choir of birds greet her. She takes no notice, scantly making it through the day. A grey fog lingers over her. Going through the motions, she waits for the day to end. The only certainty is the sweet life she lives only in her dreams.

I used to know you
As a boy
A boy and a girl
Who knew nothing
Of love
Yet in our hearts
We loved
I saw you
In my dream
The other night
Like dreams
Throughout the years
I would see you
In a crowded room
And I would not be able
To reach you
Last night
I found you
And held you
So tight
As if I knew
It would be
The last time
I would see you
We kissed
I felt it
Throughout my body
I felt you
Inside me
Loving me
We laid together
In loving embrace
And you looked
Deep into my eyes as
I woke.
