To Dream

Unconscious desires and wishes
  dwell in my mind
where sleep is the open door
  to another world, another realm
of uncontrolled content
  it's where we met
in my ethereal state of nightly travels
  where I find I am lost
in my dreams tangled web of vaporous illusions
until your face drifts through the darkness
touching the tender tendrils of my heart
that beats loudly, rhythmically, in the background
   of my dreamer's dim-lit realm
as shadows without form flicker through my mind
  leaving visual images of emotion
when I reach out to touch your face
as if to invite a smile
before I awaken with a memory
of a vivid experience...that seemed so real
