No Rules In Dreams

No control in slumber
Smiling with a frown
Frowning with a smile
Upside down and backwards

Running red changing lights
Shades of green stops
No rhyme or reason
Doing as you wish

Wishing you had done
Opposite of blue yesterday
Controlling things that end
Living in sleepy cocoon

Wrapped up in nothing
Still you belong there
Visions of sweetness wanted
Yet leaving you everytime

Caressed by unknown love
Becoming what you desire
Will she return again
Does it really matter

Can't hold her anyway
Lovely dream turned nightmare
Giving less than cruelty
Despised by me again

Then falling without body
Frightened but no pain
More hurt when eyes open
Awakened to living reality

"A poem to me is the essence of any thought,
Being built from its foundation into tower scraping sky.
It can fly like no other bird to places never seen,
Even spaceships can only dream of taking its place."

And some dreams are those we never wish to awaken from........some nightmares occur while wide awake, and those are the most painful kind. A unique poem and interesting truths. Well said!
