Daydreaming At Night - A Poem

 

DAYDREAMING AT NIGHT

I had too much to daydream

last night. Too many flights

of fancy that can never be.

Images of you, here with me.

Oh, such a beautiful scene

it was! Stardust glittering

down, like the confetti

in a snowglobe town. Caught with

you in a strobe light

fantasy, flashing eyes lashing

me into a frenzy of sights

forbidden. Easily given up,

revealed, unsealed, driven

to madness. My cup runneth

over. Sadness no longer existed.

I was twisted into joy,

believing for a moment that

you were here once more,

and not the figment

of my desperation. My

imagination swirled, pigments

of unfathomable color, hues

so deep they injected my

sleep with a radiance

never shown in daylight's

paltry mix. Tricks of gradient

pixels, drawn together in

bright, surreal dimensions.

No hype, no pretensions.

You were real, so close, the

host of my redemption.
