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.
