"How can I keep him forever with me?"

I meditate - do not medicate

before I can go to sleep

and all my dreams awaken

like in a fiery feast.

I long to dream

to dream about you

so vividly and truly

that I falsely believe

- for even just a glimpse -

that it could be true

that you are again, you.

But a creature appears

so fierce - eyes of glass -

gives me the chills just to look at

and my heart pumps.

I turn around - I see a woman

so beautiful yet so shy

my eyes are magnitised

and I whisper “Who are you?”

She says nothing but I know

coz my heart is warm and bright.

“Please, my lady, I beg you, please tell me,

How can I keep him forever with me?”

My pleas only scare her

and she suddenly retrieves

I need to go slow

to help welcome my grief.

I have two grieves in my sleep

one is scary - one is sweet.

Which one is mine? Which do I chose?

The first one appalls me - the second one I chose.
