Am I allowed to dream? ((2012)

  

Am I allowed

To dream

What I dream

When I dream it?

Or should I bind

My mind and limbs

To keep from dreaming?

Am I allowed to imagine

What each curve must

Feel like against my fingers,

My cheeks, my tongue

Or is she forbidden fruit

And what I dream

An impossible dream,

Even to dream about?

Am I allowed to feel it

The smooth surface,

The hardening tip,

Touched by fingers

Or tongue,

Eyes or mind,

Imagining how she

Must taste

Here, there,

And down below.

Am I allowed to dream it

And still remain awake?
