A Poem Suspended Between the Waking World and Ours

Awoken violently by a dream

Not a dream of violence

A crime of sorts

When your mind resorts to fusing the two

In belief they should be the new other

An indecipherable cipher

Is it one or two for life

What is this strife?

Stifling everything

She watches me work

Thinking nothing of it

But she loves it

Fallen on bended knee

What does this mean?

What is this image

It feels unclean

Yet

So

Familiar

I’ve been here before

I know this place

I know what is in every drawer

I’ve traced every inch of

Her face

Her face is always there

Now

Staring

Back at me

What does it all mean

Have I gone mad

In this place

Screaming out my desire

Into the void

Waiting

For an answer

Will she hear my call

Is it all just for my awe?
