A Funny Feeling

Poem

She is my ever-waking dream,

Coming to me as I drift into that sandy ether

Appearing as a love supreme

She looms above, the rest beneath her.


And I know that it can get rough

The pain of love, its own work of art

Time without her has made me tough

Time within her, the easiest part


Morpheus grants me time to feel it

That although I’ve known so many Lolas

I still keep that picture, so that I can see us

In that place with the world below us


There’s an uncanny rhythm to the ways that we feel it

It can be a boat that we try not to rock

Or maybe a jar, when you just can’t seal it

Perhaps it’s the door where there’s no need to knock

EDIT: I edited to the poem. Different choices of words and an entirely new quatrain. The third quatrain is the newest addition.
