TRANCE-LUCENT

Dreams seep through my sleep 
Often 
In the silence of the night, 
And in my waking moments 
They claim 
Every other heartbeat 
Of mine 
For their own… 
Lightly, ever so softly, 
They brush against my soul 
In their boundless flight. 

It’s as if 
A layer of you lives 
Like an over-painting 
On every surface 
Of my crazily scattered life 
Dripping down 
With tiny, euphoric splashes 
Their gentle plops 
Colouring my virtual world 
In brushstrokes of rainbow stripes. 

When this mellow river 
Runs satiated 
Wetting the fabric of Me 
With rhymes
I never want to be fully awake.... 

Just devour the bliss

Of this dreamy state

Where I always come alive

Effervescently
Within the dark irises 
Of your tender laughing eyes!
