Dream World

And so we meet again
You and I
Going about our daily lives
As if nothing as transpired
Conversations continue
Keeping things friendly
And professional
But we've met before
You and I
Where all inhibitions have fled
That place where I make the rules
And so the scenarios play out
One second: we're in a crowd
It's busy and bright
Next blink: we're alone
Covered in the night's dark
A warm anxiety overwhelms me
I dare to touch you
For fear that I will wake up
Will I feel your skin
Or the softness of my pillow?
You make the first move
Calling every hair to attention
It feels so real,so wrong
So rightfully, I continue
With each touch, I'm drugged
The room spins
The once familiar surroundings
Now hazy and different
What once was a bedroom
Now turns into a little shop
Familiar are the aromas
Sweet, bitter, and strong
A mixture of us
and our location
Hands are entangled
Legs are locked
Intensifying sights and sounds
Finally I am jolted awake
By my own body
It has betrayed me
And yet I am smiling
And so we now meet
Outside of my Dream World
Do I dare?
