Notes About The Poem

These Dreams I Cherish

These are the dreams I cherish 

Where I  dressed in colors of a lost field of lavender
my hair- longer than Lady Godiva’s,
my horse with a mane like a floating morning mist,
while from my mouth- mysterious words 
like the opposite of kiss, among clouds, above a  ground 
of quiet apricity where lie leaves of long forgotten
 memories.  
What is the point, you say, of all of this,
beyond these far off things?
Well, that’s the thing about wifty dreams, isn’t it?
