Rider

They chase for money, or treasured possession.
Not hearing protest or logical reason.
Look over to take in your smile.
Soak it in another mile.
We ride.
From acquaintance to caller.
From pursued to protectors.
We run the streets.
Felt nearly complete.
I chalk it up to wishful thinking.
Demons of restless cognition.
Rugged, framed in gold, accented in blue
Ah, that you were my muse.
Hide it in your boot.
For safe keeping
Almost as an after thought.
Cuz I can't even make eye contact with you.

She dreams a dream,
But it doesn't mean anything.

There are so many delicious lines here to choose from Sarah, but your opening line catches the eye immediately, with eyes returning to it again and again. Took me fifteen minutes to read it as my eyes kept pogo'ing buck up to the top of the page :)
I am left wondering if this muse had a face in the dream. Perhaps you recognised their being rather than the person. These movies that play as we sleep confuse, yet we know there must be a reason, it's just recognising that reason we are so bad at.
Beautiful words, dream-like, and the last line brings to my mind an image of you groggily shaking your head awake, in need of coffee.

I recognized them, but it seems insignificant now.
I'm always dreaming dreams that mean nothing.

True. I keep having people from my past show up in dreams, playing characters that were nothing like themselves in real life. Always interesting....until the one where a sweet little thing I once knew morphed into a mind sucking blob from outer space and drained me of all my emotions and memory, by attaching a sucker to my head and sucking them out my head like it was a milk shake being drank through a straw.....Or was that what she was like in real life? :)

Lmao. Sounds like something I looked up to see in a dream. And it looked awful startled except it was hooked up to a bunch of people. Weird AF cuz I've never seen anything like that before in a dream. And I didn't tell anybody about it either.

Uhm, well I didn't wanna say, but the reason I don't use a photo as my avatar is....Oh, hold on, just tripped over the feeding tubes going into my dinners brains. Now where were we? Ah, yes! Was I green in yellow in your dream too :)

She dreams a dream,
But it doesn't mean anything.

I can understand

[Comewhatevermay]

As in the dream.... She had while sleeping... It was a figment of her imagination.
