A cast of thousands invades
my dreams
faceless frightening strangers
lurk in hallways and corners
as I make my way up the
incline
to a cloaked man with brown hair
who beckons me come closer
the walls close in as I fight for
air
scratching and clawing toward my
inevitable goal
and he sits
on the water
in his Polo shirt
and pulls me nearer
his hypnotic aura
like a magnet makes me
helpless in the nightmare
and I pray to no one that he will
be unknown
yet even in the dream
I brace myself for his horror
The final outcome of
My nightly trance
The face melts into reality
facing me
the conspiracy almost over
and I fall at his knees
night after night
held forever captive
by an unrequited
love
who only comes to me in a
dream
