John Lawless Poet Verse

Dancing in a Dream

Is love a fleeing tyrant
Dancing in a dream
Trapped amid the fact of feelings

Joy the fading bubbles
Of a carbonated collapse
Struggling to recap itself

Or has time embraced us
In its subtle blanket
Tucked sweetly together

Held captive in moments
Of love’s memory
Still dancing in a dream
