I was reading a german poem by M Piekar about a similar subject titled Wenn mann im seichten Traum faellt.

I wanted to write along this line and this is what eventuated.

Too elevated for sleeping I crave agape' pleasure Totally slipped up Down I go Tripping on dream steps Each one with its own Pleasure and pain But good pain Falling as in the season Into you deeper Ever closer to the bottom REM, the flicker of it Toggles between here and gone With hands beyond, outside Morbidity I grasp a melancholy melody A still small voice of reality You whisper " I love you, sleep good."
