What are my dreams made of?A Poem by Cass Ashe
Night skies gently waft over the world before me
And cooling, calming darkness fills my room. I crawl under covers and wonder what I will see When warmth takes me away from this gloom. What are my dreams made of, if not memories- For if they are not visions of the day just past, Then should they not be reflections of creativities- So if not memory, where will my imagination cast? Dreaming to me is like walking through molasses, Heavy feet and tired legs weary from running From eyes belonging to judgmental masses Whose shows in which I act out of fear of ruining. Dreams- not nightmares- nay, they’re often same -So I find difficulty in differing the delusions Depicted by my damnable dome doting on a dame- And slipping into reasonless iterations of alliterations! Whatever I dream, remembering it is a bust, By Jove, I’ve the mind of a romantic, hold the romance And the mind, I admit, for I am not infrequently led by lust Into a desirable dream, then a mess in my pants. But on a rare night, stress at ease and heads at bay, I’ve seen angels in Heaven and love ‘cross the land Like life were a fairy tale, happily ever after, they say, Heroics and adventures with a finale by ocean sand. I reckon dreams be made of desires in themselves For our dreams and our desires seldom disagree And to put one on a greater or lesser set of shelves Rejects our odd reflection, what makes our minds free. © 2023 Cass Ashe |
