The Dream

It was something
that brought a smile
to my face.

It had unusual underpinnings
with desirable overtones,
a pleasurable experience

as I wandered aimlessly
through concoctions Neanderthal
perpetuations ministered aloft

in dreams drearily
bound by time, space
glittery amidst synchronizing

to a land of make-believe
where all desires
could be fulfilled

it tantalized senses
drifting through subconscious
perplexity illuminating

dismal repercussions stifled
by cold truths.

Neanderthals we are in our unconscious but very dominant existence ... Well written one ... One thing I am suggesting ... Hope you will not mind ... Showing things objectively brings in more appeal than description ...
