Notes About The Poem

For Shell Lewis

What's With Dreams

You stood in radiance of sun
Changed, like eve in soft pastels
So special?

The fluff of your hair so fine
It caused me to reach for you
Tender you.

But then bold goose bumps appeared
Pronouncing you cold in warmth
You feared ghost?

It wasn't like you to flinch
To shudder as though being pinched
Dreams deceive?
