Oceans of Sleep
I had a dream of another world.
In
that dream, a life unfurled.
I was led to a mirror with parallel
lines.
The fragments so equal, the shards so defined.
On one side sat I and you on the
other.
And only a moment it took to discover,
this world was symmetric, a
ying and a yang.
It hadn’t been bitten by fate’s evil fang.
We have you and I.
In reality’s
bite. I look at the wounds and I sigh.
The riddle of life ripping cuts in my
heart.
Kismet discerning to keep us apart.
Pretending to be serene.
With
yearning so keen.
It could reverse the flow of the tide.
Always ripping
inside.
The only way I shall ever know
peace,
is if your spell ends its lease
and the mirror sinks down to the
sea.
All covered in murk it should be.
Way down deep in the oceans of
sleep.
Lay the secrets that I keep.
From those who know me well.
They
languish there, abated by the swell.
