Should Dreams Unbidden Come

By amlee

How would you stop dreams
should dreams unbidden come?

How do you stem waves?

watery graves, wide-mouthed

devour full forced, intentioned

upon maraudable sands?

Or motion winds cease?

rule release their rude trifling of

underskirts in embattled oaks

till choked, their acorn tears

steer unchecked, rampant

run across harrowed bark?

How fathom then, destiny's beloved

coveted, un-nominated Prince, shining

dangerous dark upon my pining

oft broke parts? Who stirred sweet sleep to

deep harness my turbulent swells; who's

blown my full grown, fat cobwebs of loves

lost, the cost of passion's poor investments;

who untangled my mangled nightmares, till

like leaden veils they lift; and at last I

drift, dream lover, light

unblighted offering spilling

honeyed kisses into your willing

waiting arms.
