Turning the Tables

She hears your voice

When you first wake up

That half tired

Deep morning mumble

That sounds so sexy

 

She sees you first

Fresh out of the shower

Hair still wet

Towel around your waist

Smelling of soap

 

She tastes your

Lingering breakfast

As you get ready for work

The same every morning

Toast with jam and cream in your coffee

 

She starts her day with you

Embraced in a hug

A passionate goodbye kiss

And an “I love you babe”

With that sultry smile of yours

 

I settle for

A hello and a grin

And a “what was your name”

While dreaming it was me with you

And she who was the one jealous

Early Warning

I saw it happen

I knew it was coming

A prescient dream

Made me aware

But I didn’t heed it

Didn’t trust the warning

And now

It is too late

You lay in a coma

And I live

Full of regret

Without you

Perfect Dream

In pursuit of the perfect dream
I lost a lot along the way…
First to go was my mind
As troubles weighed me down
I felt as if I’d drown
Next was my heart
When I misjudged him then
I lost what could have been
Finally I have a body
That now rejects what I want
Memories of painless days only taunt
In pursuit of the perfect dream
I lost a lot of me…

A Pina Colada Day (FOWC)

The breeze is warm
Feeling moist on my skin
The sand is hot under my feet
The sun beats down
Coloring my skin
A cold drink in my hand
Quenches my tropical thirst
As I sit down in my chair
I am content to watch the waves
As they roll over the beach
In my little dream of paradise

In My Dreams

My health has resulted in

A chart filled with diagnoses

One disease blends into another

My dreams are filled with a panacea

To chase all symptoms away

But so far there are no cures

Only management by meds

So I slip back into slumber

For a brief hour or two of sleep

And dream of that wonder pill

So I can be normal again

Just Five More Minutes Please

I close my eyes
And sail across a dream
On silky smooth seas
Sparkling like diamonds
Only to find
The sea is a mirror
And the land
Is all yellow trees
Under a purple sun
I sail to find you
Floating upside down
Reaching for a cloud
Of marshmallow cream
I know you are lost
In this strange dreamland…
BUZZZZZZZZZZ!

Dream To Change

There once was a girl who was brassy

Some might even say she was sassy

But she had a dream

To change how she seemed

So others would considered her quite classy

KABOOM!

I awoke with a start

I was already panicked

Was the noise all a dream

Or was something the matter.

The sound woke me up

It was really quite loud

Was it a fire cracker going off

Or was it something more.

I looked all around inside

Peeked out through the curtains

But all seemed quite normal

Nothing held a fiery glow.

So it had to have been a dream

But I still can’t help but wonder

If some exterior sound may have

Warped my reality a bit this morning.

Unseen Forces

like an invisible force

the unseen pull

drags me to you

even though I shouldn’t

even though it’s a wasted dream

I still come to you

hoping

wishing

needing

you to love me

Vague Memories

The specific details are hard to recall

But you were there and that started it all

 

It started a heartbeat deep in my soul

When you took my hand and we went for a stroll

 

I remember we walked

I remember we talked

 

But what was said and where we went

I don’t recall during this event

 

All I know is we were close and you held me tight

My body reacted on that special night

 

And I saw you in a different light

And I loved you with all my might

 

When you did what you do

I felt brand new

 

Now my love is forever deep inside for you

And it all started with a dream from out of the blue
