In Somnia

Dream synthetic,
Diuretic,
Orange, apple,
Blurry, dappled

Down the hatch.
Release and catch.
Falling forward.
Change the scoreboard.

Teeny, tiny,
Bright and shiny,
Little specks,
Golden flecks

Make up wishes,
Small, chipped dishes.
Stay and wallow.
Find and follow.

Drown the doubts,
Screams and shouts.
Ankle deep
In tears I reap

Emancipation,
Revelation,
Fading scars,
Falling stars.

Love wholeheartedly
Always a part of me
In hours I’ve suffered.
My joy is buffered.
