DREAMSCAPE

DREAMSCAPE

you think this is a poem
in your dreams
       it us a recurrent dream

one in which
we lose
     each other try
to
    find what went wrong

search for joy
             escape the nightmare

bliss, salvation
nirvana, integration
anything remotely resembling
even
   as shadow the above

question is will you help me
will I help you

or are we just relays, ciphers,
circuits in
   the dream machinery?

something out there
seems to be hounding me
and yet
      cannot discount the possibility
might be here to save me

whisper softly (turn
on your audio, unmute
yourself presently)

                     tell me
since all ears

the message as it is (or
how you best guess understand it)

promise on my soul
to keep it locked between us
exclusive
     share between us

thing at least to bind us
running through this recurrent dream

even if we wished to
as much as we try
                         simply
cannot escape from
