Blurry

a poem about the in-between - poetry challenge entry

Caught in the moment before eyes open

The world is silent and unspoken

There's a shred of dream left inside

I can almost touch it as worlds collide

The soft rims of the fantasy world

Tricking me as my mind swirls

Is he really here next to me?

I feel warmth, but I sense it’s the dream

Being caught in this in-between

Visions of real and fantasy

It's where I can pretend things aren’t what they seem

Where I can be whatever I long to be

Before the light of day takes over

Before the real world makes me sober

I kiss his face and taste his lips

It may not be real, but I relish this bliss

These visions get blurry as I try to hold on

Forever is for dreams, by day you'll be gone

Cluttered mind, chaotic life, and a heavy heart... I write to keep sane.
