Of Nightmares and Dreams

I was looking for you in my dreams, dear, In my dreams only succubi would form. So I then searched the oceans, there and here, But I found only salt, water, and storms. I searched above the mountains, but found sky, I searched the depths of the earth, to find holes. I looked afar, and I looked within-- WHY? Why could I not find you on my patrols? I gave up escape, hope, settled in there. Bereft of love, I chose stygian dark. And as I relaxed into my nightmare I attuned the glimmering smile of snark. A dream, delusion in the haedic pit Love's salvation sent you by the Spirit.
