Dreams shatter like glass
I
Eons since i’ve heard your name
Im trembling ...
The power to make me shudder, it has yet to relinquish
Your name’s a storm
Murmured like thunder echoed in a rainy night
Strikes me like lightning
Tingling traversing my body in a wave of torment
The smell of my singed flesh intoxicating me
The bittersweet taste of lament tiptoes across my tongue
Tears overshadowed by million plummeting droplets
shed by the clouds hovering above
The sky mourns with me tonight
Moonlight attempts to lull me to slumber
To have me waltz with dreams
on a sun kissed river
Heading nowhere
I resist, the way men resists all but desire and lust
temptation has never won over me
II
I awake under a kaleidoscopic glass ceiling
That somehow reminds me of your eyes
I’m walking on air, swimming through forests
In this dazzling world
Where ravens and crows stride through oceans
And whales fly within the untrespassed sanctity of
This rainbow tinted sky
And I find myself soaring backwards on silver-tipped wings
Made of supple, snow color clouds
Down through your ivory skin that parts open
like a silk stream
A myriad of color blinds me a moment
The parade marches on buildings flowing sideways
A psychedelic scene,
reality seems flimsy
Expanding and contracting at random
Butterflies with stunning polychromatic wings
Drink from the beautiful blue pedals
Of a serene sakura tree
Baby angels with wings of laughter
Bound up and down cheering to
The melody of galloping seahorses
Im whistling along with trees
Flowing through your blood vessels
I regale in the wise tales of lustrous paintings
I dance with a samurai adorned in liquid armor
To the bustling beat of a frog's trumpet
A succulent aroma entices me, in an instant
Im caressed by the vines of magenta flowers
twirling , spraying their petals that seem
To change colors in the warm, singing wind
I unravel myself, and swiftly mount atop
An elegant elephant with exquisitely long, thin legs
Brazenly defying the golden bonds of gravity's kiss
Trodding upon the air itself, diligently forward
We're approaching your heart, mine beats faster
My hearts a drum and the parade is stomping along
III
I run up empty foothills
Faster than sound
I’ve left my body
Too slow
Soul speeding
Towards your essence
Wind howling
Strips my wings
Of its clouded feathers
I’m Arriving
Time slows, my existence is being sucked
Into the black hole where your heart should be
Space distorts, we’re swirling into it
The parade’s a tornado of pulsating color
I catch the twisted smile of a small angel
Grappling with the translucent samurai
Melting into each other they’re metamorphosing
Crumbling in space as time erratically fluctuates
We’re packed
into a
Singularity
IV
Suddenly i’m soaring downwards again through
Clouds and soft rays of sunlight
There below I see you
I’m falling into your lips
Upon contact I shatter like glass into
little shards reflecting turquoise tinted light
I’m awake, truly awake now
The firmness of my mattress affirms that
The humm of the flickering fluorescent light
Illuminates the dull chamber in which i reside
The wind is still howling against my window
The pitter patter of rain upon my rooftop
Paints a dissonant melody
I stare at the moon, muddled by my dripping window
I slip back into the embrace of my sheets
And let the nights sweet lullaby
Hush me back
To the dreamland
Where I can fall into you once more
Eons since i’ve heard your name
Im trembling ...
The power to make me shudder, it has yet to relinquish
Your name’s a storm
Murmured like thunder echoed in a rainy night
Strikes me like lightning
Tingling traversing my body in a wave of torment
The smell of my singed flesh intoxicating me
The bittersweet taste of lament tiptoes across my tongue
Tears overshadowed by million plummeting droplets
shed by the clouds hovering above
The sky mourns with me tonight
