Ode to the Dreamer.......

My heart is racing, it's beats heightened from my dreams

The images run and hide from my eyes, too deep to redeem

I run to get my pen, but the ink has run dry

The words in my head slowly fizzle and die

The world that I enter when I close my eyes

Has me short of breath, waking with a cry

The heat from the sweat gathered in those intense sets

Is too much for my body to recycle and reset

So I lie here unstirred until the beats dissipate

I close my eyes, envision and renegotiate

With my mind’s theatre and the tickets just sold

I beg the ticket master for the prior to be retold

Because sitting in this theatre without any memory from before

Leaves the dreamer empty handed with a mind so sore

Fighting to break those mental blocks

Has me wondering if these dreams are stored in some cerebral lock box

Ode to the dreamer because I am one of you

I’ll lay here in my bed overheated and used

My mind just stole another story and left me here confused……
