I Dream Dreams

I dream dreams in rhymes and verses, 
A poet's blessing in curses, 
Vague images pop up in sleep, 
Words in jumbles assault me deep;

I dream dreams in rhythmic fragments, 
Thoughts quiver without enjambments, 
Prompts come in syllables broken, 
Illusions signalled unspoken;

I dream dreams that shake me awake, 
Midnight muse greets drowsy daybreak, 
Ideas cross o'er slumberland, 
Muddled whims in poetic strand;

I dream dreams in staccato beat, 
Contemplating meter and feet, 
Nodding to nightly notions new, 
Creative fancy's fleeting view;

I dream dreams that direct my pen, 
Grasping glimpses beyond my ken, 
Composing fading melodies, 
Breathing life into memories.
