Consumption

The tarry warmth of covers spread
Wrapped about me asleep in bed
While dreaming naked trails of dare
And running rampant still butt bare

It’s often that I travel thus
Deep within this omnibus
That brings about a twitch a turn
Unconscious of the things I yearn

Surprised or not they are my lot
It’s been this way since I was tot
I rarely dream the dreams I would
Although I try and wish I could

I never know the dreams I find
For some of them are most unkind
And wake me in a worried sweat
That takes me time to sort and set

But I’ve learned clues about neaps reap
And what to eat before I sleep.

Hi Sy

Dreams are so interesting to me...I've just begun to be able to remember mine...most of them make no sense at all.

haha, yes it is said, that greasy potatos bring bad dreams!

But among the bad ones, there are also good ones and I know you have them!

Very cute, dear Seymour!

Love and hugs.

Eating and dreaming can be a real science, and if I am bored, I have crackers and mustard.

Dream good
Dream bad
Dream makes your sleep sad.
cheering up your precious sleep,
you can find the rest reap

I love to read your poems.

I have no clue what dreams mean Sir Sy
but this one is certainly not boring!

love it

Lady,
Thank you dear for the read and dreams are really hard to diagnose. Most will come from problems we have and that can be endless.

Sir Sy,  one's diet does help the mind and
sometimes hinder it.....  Dreams can be
fun,  can also suck! huh?
