Tuesday Night Folly
To slip into darkness I struggle in vain
Stress of the day plies and batters my brain
I call to thee now, sweet giver of dreams
Ferry me across your ethereal stream
Gently you coax me, my eyelids now drawn
Appeasing my nerves, trepidation has flown
Crossing the threshold 'twixt your world and mine
I reach for your hand as two souls intertwine
Tonight let us bypass all worries and fears
Ensure I wake not with a heart full of tears
This eve let us journey to magical realms
I lend you my trust as you're seizing the helm
On strong gilded wings, carry me to wonder
Skipping through clouds, first over now under
Fueled by laughter we spiral and dive
Tickling each treetop entranced and alive
Sea warmed breezes caressing my nose
Beach made of fairy dust just beneath my toes
Chattering monkeys and gossiping birds
Serenade as we pass with cryptic words
O'er cobblestone streets and green-gabled homes
Then a quick stop to greet the resident gnomes
You masterfully navigate with awe and surprise
I succumb to each folly of your sparkling eyes
Through fields of rye where grasshoppers dance
On snow capped hills we frolic and prance
Deep into the forest on moss covered stones
We follow a path where the elven ones roam
Our excursion soon quickens, the night now waning
Break through the fog where it's dreary and raining
You bid me "Adieu" while suppressing a grin
Perhaps on the morrow we'll take leave again
My breathing is quieted, unconscious, aloof
Melodic blue raindrops tap-tap on my roof
Slowly awaken, recollections of want
Of my dark-haired docent and our midnight jaunt

Wow this is masterfully beautiful.
This catches my fancy, I so admire your poetry!
Crossing the threshold 'twixt your world and mine
I reach for your hand as two souls intertwine

some nights are harder than others - like last night - I feel like Hamlet - I'd count myself king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams.
Those nights are tough indeed. I've spent the past several years teaching others how to improve their dream experience, but sometimes those not so pleasant dreams have to find their place in the spotlight..
yes, they're a reflection of places we go, it seems
