Shaz Cheesman Poet Free verse

Dream

Paralysed by my surroundings
Enduring the visions you hold
Deep paths burned in all corners
My brain is a multi track mind
Anxious in sleep, beating fast
Thoughts all eratic and twisted
No sense a numbness no flight
My body wrapped in your web
Struggling to escape this fight
My body overheated and sweaty
Suddenly awake - such a fright!

Robert Johnson June 3, 2012 at 3:29 PM I can so relate to the paralizing aspect of your dream interpretation. To wake up and be able to move feels like coming up for air. It's usually my arm pinned under my body or wrapped up in the blanket. Dreams! hhhh:)
