It was only a dream You had only stopped once A glance that asked, are you alright? I could've stopped at no But I spoke for ten minutes straight Words gushing out of my lips Making them busy To forget that I can't kiss you, yet A smile danced on your face My complaints amused you, didn't they? If it were a different city afternoon A different sky A different room and a different dress I would've been angry At a man laughing at a rambling woman Instead I fell in love How did I die for an insolent grin? You made it worse A light touch of your brown fingers On my restless hands You tried to stop me but you only made me race I can't forget your face I want to chew your brain alive I want to wipe off your smirk with my lipstick I want to grab your hair and shake you until you love me back But it was only a dream, I promise, And if you ask me if I'm alright What can I do but say yes and smile?
I went for a walk yesterday. The evening was a blue blanket Draped around my skin I walked into a dream. My hair grew into a bush of roses The red of their joy Splashed scarlet upon my cheeks. I checked for thorns, My fingers returned without a prick. Oh, the air was so sweet Like a child’s candy daze Sticking to my face like a warm embrace.
Drops of light fell like leaves on my path I stepped on them, unthinking, A fraction of a moment later I held my breath, afraid, Did I bring back the dark? It took me by surprise, when the little pools of light Jingled under my feet, Flaring through my form like soft thunder. Every step staged a firework show.
I wish I had nowhere else to go But the sunset had begun. I had to return. As I turned to retrace my steps I was almost about to wake, When I heard my dream speak, “I know you have miles And miles to go before you sleep, But don’t you forget, if you don’t pause to dream Your eyes will see a solitary street When there are thousands not taken. Goodbye for now, I bid you adieu, I wish your dreams May all come true.”
