I saw you in my dreams last night. I cannot express the feelings that... that came over me in my dream. You were there, far away against a wall. Your eyes, the deepest blue looking into my soul. I tried to speak, but the silence of sleep stifled me. My arms, lying still, waving frantically. You walked around a corner, my eyes now blind. My mind crying for you, real tears falling. I tried to run, my legs pushing against sheets. I could not move, I feared I had lost you. Again I saw you, gown flowing over the waters. Rowing in a distant boat, another lover taking you. My voice called incoherently for you You looked away, again you are gone. I see you climbing steps to a house, familiar only in dreams. A door awaits you, opening to invite you in. The face of your host haunts me, I remember him well. My silent screams won’t take you away. I see you there in a bed. A faceless lover creating smiles of joy. My tears flowing from my face scar my pillow. Am I not the man of your soul, of your dreams? When I awake, will you still be at my side? I am afraid to wake....Let me sleep in agony. For I will not lose you from my dreams. |

Dreams are our best friends and worse friends, but always friends. Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream. |

Yes they are our friends....and can be so frustrating when you never quite are able to find the one you are grasping for so feverishly in dreams.. |
