dreams of dreams

a poem about the dreams that come when you sleep

I close my eyes.
I sink / I fall unconcious
Gently.
Suddenly
Unknowingly.

Reality and fantasy intertwine.
dreams of reality /
dreams of wishes / desires known and unkown
emotions expressed / hidden ; they converge to create
Images.
Shapes.
Worlds.
Realities / I view as I dream.

Dreams of things known and unknown /
familiar becomes strange.
strange becomes familiar.
meanings unknown to the unconcious mind make perfect sense then none a moment later.

How long will it last?
How long before it is over? / I ask myself.
I want it to end
I never want to wake up / I say to myself.

Immersed in my dreams I am unaware /
seconds.
minutes.
hours pass slowly / quickly
i have no choice.

Time is up / the dream ends.
It shatters.
It breaks.
Fading / blurring till only pieces are left,
The scene changes; to be continued... / Everything unravels

The Dream Ends / I Awaken...
