Poem Title:
Poem
It's not when I'm asleep I dream, It's the stages in between, The moment just before waking, The drifting before repose, When fleeting seconds which with I gamble, When the mind is allowed to amble, Through the childish thoughts & tangents, Through odditys, obscurity & madness, Between dreaming & thinking, oh what a team, Between you & me, I remember no dream, Longer than it takes me to brush my teeth, Longer still than that I bet you remember thinking thoughts, Precisely this is why dreams are special they're thoughts you could not think, Precisely without inebriation, drugs, alchohol & the kitchen sink, Insane thoughts Inane thoughts These are what haunt me in the zone between slumber & regard, These things these euphoric jaunts into the surreal & marred, I don't dream of power, success or wealth, I dream of pretty things like coconuts in stealth, Parroquets singing barbershop to girls who have no hair, Robot polkadot girly dudes wearing nout but underwear, A friend is now my lover, A lover is now my slave, I'm chased, I chase an abandoned & forgot old knave, Who earned my ire & my wrath, By failing to take a bath, In a land where water doesn't exist, But drinking honey gets you pissed, A snake slithers slowly, seranading sirens shout support, I take my mothers kitchen knife but quickly am I caught, Before I get to slice into my favourite memory, Dreams. Dreams of transport take me from myself to another dimension, Dreams like these are precisely why I fail to mention, My own works of the deranged mind when at a party it is said, "My oh my, I had the weirdest dream last night" But I don't dream, I think, or atleast I think I think, But if I concentrate on the thought i lose it in a blink, It's like that chinese finger trap, It's harder still the more you try, So keeping a dream in mind is harder than most things, So you might aswell just enjoy it whilst it lingers, And then I think of the thoughts that I am thinking, And then I'm brought to sobriety, And left with my boring normal mind, And that is less fun.
