Tonight I Shall Dream

by CJ Maleney   May 20, 2017


Tonight I shall dream

I have no idea of that visions will ensue,
Horror or hurt, pain or fantasy!
Fear, self condemnation,
Absolution, absorption.?

I will accept those dreams, in any form.
I have not dreamed for so long!
I've enforced such things.
My choice, my blockading mechanism.

Tonight I will toss and turn.
I will awake a stoopid o'clock in the morning
Burning up, bathed in sweat.
I will lay awake for hours wondering.
Yet eventually I will be taken again.

! Tonight I shall dream !

For tonight I will not drink !

    ah, the dreams we have when sober..
    i much like most seem to have a blank mind when falling asleep with some wine in me..

    however, i cherish those nights i do rememeber dreams. well done! :)

    Or "stoopid" is like stressing it or its the way we are sounding it like saying
    gooood! Its the title because when we think I shall dream it never always happens
    or sometimes we can't even remember whether we dreamed or not or its just
    the situation we are in or the mood. All in all this says I'm going to be me tonight,
    and let it be let it flow...take care

    Too easy to slip down that rabbit hole !

    Can't sleep so I'll have a bottle of beer, one becomes two becomes 3 becomes 4,

    You don't dream at this point. Your body is too busy repairing the damage.

    And I'll be honest, when you don't have that second , third or fourth, sometimes the dreams ain't nice ones.

    However I think I would rather the nightmare from here on in

    Ps praised and well deserved as such
