Dreams of her that’s all they ever were
The only dreams I ever had
She, her, the female form
Her body, eyes, curves, smile
Form my every sleeping thought
Driving down a road slick with rain
Dangerous curves, yeah that’s her
Running through a desert 
Panting with desire 
For just a drop of moisture
Too much a simile for me 
To not see
That it is her to me
Floating on a cloud, the number 9
She is there with me
Finally mine
Only to wake in a bed empty

I close my eyes again.
She is my dream. 
My subconscious’ 
Only reality.

This is for a dVerse prompt: For today’s Poetics, I would like you to write a poem that interprets a dream. It can be about falling— where falling is not fear, but release. Let gravity feel like permission. What did you finally stop holding onto?

Hope you enjoy!

  1. This is beautifully done. I get the feeling of femme fatale or perhaps a dangerous journey into the unknown. The poem unravels and works both ways. Thank you so much for writing to the prompt 😀
