dreams

I can't give you directions
but meet me in that dark shadow
on the outskirts of pleasure and pain,
lurking between waking and sleep.

we've me there before
slipping between the curtains of life
like children playing ghosts
with their mother's sheets.

For an instant the curtain ripped.
in joyous sweat I brushed back
your silky hair. your eyes met mine
exploding like dying stars in thick black

This was where we lived for eternity
frozen between the clicks of time.
our caressing bodies and beautiful nothings
swirling together like a painter mixing colors.

slipping off the edge of reality
like sheets of a bed
with flowing creases and deep shadows
let us exist in this evanescent meeting

we were children with wooden blocks
creating stars and planets.
painters spewing colors into meaning.
writers frothing words onto the blank tablet of page.

i'll be waiting in the world behind the world.
between the curtain of sleep and blindness of waking.
come join me in my dreams and
let us craft new dreams forever.
