Windows To Another Dimension

They all have similarity in simplicity,
My dreams about women – few and far between.
I’ve only dreamed about a handful in all my life.
Always short – always warm,
My head in her lap,
My tears in her belly button,
Soft kisses on my face in hallways
Or houses I’ve never seen
Or beaches under golden suns.

I know what I want
When she visits me in dreams.

I always dream these dreams in the early morning,
They always grace me unexpectedly,
And shake me profoundly.
Vividly real – affecting me for days,
Always locked away in my memory
As if they were events which actually happened.
Parallel universes where I am another man,
Windows to another dimension
Where my heart is full again
If only for these brief solitary moments
In the phantom worlds of sleep.

Laura Breidenthal March 26, 2015 at 1:02 AM You seem to be a very visual person, as your words read like a motion picture in my head...lines like..."My head in her lap, My tears in her belly button,"Original and interesting imagery throughout. "I know what I want When she visits me in dreams.." You also leave the reader thinking...a beautiful composition..dreamy and unique..you've taken me to a different dimension it seems...fascinating! Always, Laura Dean Marais March 26, 2015 at 11:10 AM hmm i've never really thought about it. maybe its because i was a drawer and painter before i picked up poetry? haha Thanks for reading =)
