dreams are the fair share
of air held out for the breathing in
from gods and angels,
a miraculous awe
from behind the walls
of eyelids closed to frame
the names of futures
on a marquee,
glimmered by reflections
of rainbow inflections
balanced on the purity
of liquid streams of gold,
stories told in bold fashion,
never rationed, but doled out
to fill mornings with a mustard seed
accompanied by symphanies

dreams dreamed
so there, so aware,
so dared from beyond a nightshade,
so made with the scents
of passionate comings on
soon to be spent like Midas
finally loosed his horde

oh god the dreams we love
make Love a gamble
which we must adjust,
a fantasy to be,
a freedom
we must spend
with Hopes we
must afford!

i bet my Life on dreams
which live inside of me
and never end!
i dream tomorrow’s Truth
and fill the still of night
with yesterday’s what ifs
while holding on to tight
the futures of our nows
in gifts!
