The same dream Augst. 12, 2025

 

I wake from the same dream each morning, or a dream so much like the previous dream I ache over it all day, not just a memory or premonition, just what is at this moment, the feel of it still around me when I open my eyes and find she’s not really there, raising the question as to why I need to retrace my steps along the same path, feeling what I continue to feel and want what I still want, always wanted, and always will.

I wake each morning to the lingering fragments of what I thought I had in sleep, the touch and the taste, the feel of the deep plunge, as if off a bridge into dark mysterious waters that consume me, this wet world filled with visions of her eyes, and sensations of bliss I do not feel when awake, save for the perpetual ache that haunts me all day until I can dream again.
