Dreams

[Green Ink]

try to sleep but
shadows on ceiling try
to gang up on this little light that
shines when it's time to bury my head and
dream up a world that I have been looking
forward to.

The things
that go through
my mind as I stare outside
and wonder why sparks of genius
come out so late at night. Just when
I feel about to sleep,
the curtains shake,
trees cast shadows,
house makes noises.

I think of
all the the things
I want to dream before
I close my eyes and drift away
to my talking trees?
sensual tastes?
the feeling of flight?
or the chef's special of this fantasy filled night.

Maybe I'll dream of
girls that were never approached
because I could not bring myself to go
and strike up a conversation, but now
it's up to my imagination

Dreams

try to sleep but
shadows on ceiling try
to gang up on this little light that
shines when it's time to bury my head and
dream up a world that I have been looking
forward to.

The things
that go through
my mind as I stare outside
and wonder why sparks of genius
come out so late at night. Just when
I feel about to sleep,
the curtains shake,
trees cast shadows,
house makes noises.

I think of
all the the things
I want to dream before
I close my eyes and drift away
to my special place?
sensual tastes?
the feeling of flight?
or the chef's special of this fantasy filled night.

Other's talk
of counting sheep
but I have no trouble
when it comes to geting sleep,
To escape to a new place,
differant air, fantasy fair, mythical creatures,
walking underwater or transforming to a new size!
All at the price of closing my eyes.

Maybe I'll dream of
girls that were never approached
because I could not bring myself to go
and strike up a conversation, but now
it's up to my imagination
