scaled up her gentle sandstone back barefeet
rode a soft whisper into her head
which I found to be a cavernous place
  where every sound was an echo
    and every echo a dying dream

went slowly through the rooms in her mind
soon came across a subterranean sea
so lovely in its dark tranquility that I
Shed my clothes on its shore and plunged in

swam slowly through her ocean of memory
exchanged pleasantries with the chimeras of the deep
they were all quite nice and so tragically
lovely in their estranged beauty
we shared some wine and stories until
the sun came up
I told them I had to go

woke up freezing

A strong capture of the transit effect dreams have on our being. Excellent job! I enjoyed the imagination and the way that you delivered it in your write.

nodding here in understanding--

"woke up freezing"

I shiver and go back to sleep.

gentle and warm tone to this, I enjoyed the read.
