my knowing light
for shadow past sometime
i am so tired
let me sleep

fall

to these dreams with frequency
behold and place my meaning

i hold a dream in a thought kept secret
close over you when i am sleeping
there
in the sheets
of dream material
i envelop you so soft cerebral
and you have never known thus far
could you so want return let on...

at night i lie alone in bed
seeing images of my best kept subject
over again my thoughts replay
the context of a vast excursion

to take you on
and then again
to hold you in
so then released
i form you then so often partnered
and relinquish
to the memory

that never happened
