You'Ve Rescued Me
I swim through a dream
in a sluggish swirling world
that seems to precede
all there is in my waking hours,
and where only the whirling
memory of your trusting face
seems to somehow see me
through the slow motion
of aimless, random flux
of the unknown, the unknowable,
and my own scream seems
throughout to reach a peak,
echoing as a fearful falsetto,
fading off as a muted panic.
Morning sunbeam the tinge
of yellow daisies awakens
the cold window pane, yet
I still recall that in the darkest
sanctum of a jet-black night,
hysterically I struggled to break
through an unbreakable,
invisible membrane
of a suffocating bubble
in a most terrifying nightmare,
but I woke up at the soft touch
of a tender hand on my face,
yes, your whisper, and now,
the warmth of your embrace !
