to sleep
not to dream
to chase you
from my mind
dreams
bleeding inside
a dream
reflecting reality
you
beautiful distant
me
bleeding inside
living the wrong dream: from a line by mi amigo Chuck Guest
you wake
in a strange bed
to a voice unfamiliar
calling you
to breakfast
of runny eggs
and sour milk
in your coffee
you do not recognize
her or the rooms
you appear to be living in
this
you soon realize
is the wrong dream
you have awaken
to
the night endless
the night
endless
disjointed dreams
and gulls
laughing
in the distance
fishing dreams: from a line by Dong-Myung Kim
bait the hook
drop the line
catch you
if I can
this night
in dreams
dreams can betray
dreams
can betray
expose
hidden desires
best left
covered
especially
in the night
make the dreams go away
what does it take
how much should one ingest
to make the dreams
go away
from Jahan Malek Khatun: 3
Last night, my love, my life, you lay with me,
I grasped your pretty chin, I fondled it,
And then I bit, and bit, your sweet lips till
I woke. . .It was my fingertips I bit.
translated by Dick Davis
a glimpse of heaven perhaps
there are some dreams
we hope
not to awake from
a glimpse of heaven
perhaps
a taste of desired
eternity
unspoken conversations
I dream
of unspoken conversations
all I wanted
to tell you
those many times
we talked
would you have listened
without turning away
would these dreams
of conversations
mattered
in the light
of day
