Subject(s): Dreams; Night; Sleep; Thought; Nightmares; Bedtime; Thinking


Sometime when oft I revel
in my kingdom of reverie,
I live with thee
beside the sea
which as a balm worldly frets assuages.

There, the sun throws out its rays to meet me
Musical swishing of waves delight me
Intricate sunsets bewitch me
Enchanting nights inveigle me
You, my dear, envelope me
Time not for realities
Stark, drab.

Ephemeral thoughts not lasting
like colorful bubbles must vanish.
Again sheerness, hypocrisy, anxiety
Face to face.
Lo! no escape.
