In this dream...

by Doctor Salwan   Sep 1, 2014


Yesterday I dreamed of paradise
I saw a picture of you
I also dreamed of love and care
I saw a picture of us two

Gasping for air I dreamed of loneliness
I saw a shadow on my wall
It was staring at me like
I was worth nothing at all

In this dream you looked at me
With your pretty shaped eyes
As if you were to stop nightmares
Before they could even arise

With that tender look on your face
And the even softer smile
it was like you were away for very long
But you find your way back after a while

In this dream there were no problems
Hate, envy or jealousy too
It was just a movie playing
of a happy couple like me and you

We were sitting on the couch
Drinking wine, smoking some, having fun
Not worrying about the future
How it was going to be on the long run

Not only are you my lover
But my best friend too
You know everything about me
And I know it all about you

A warning enters my head
As we are lying in my bed
What used to be blue and clear
All of a sudden turned dark red

Then a dark cloud approached and swept
Everything away, once so fair
Everything once so pretty
Vanished in the evil black air...

A feeling so cold gazed through my skin
My heart felt heavy as lead
The only path to yours disappeared
Was I left there alone for dead?

As I tried to stand up
To recover from this evil sin
Thoughts dwell through my head
and gave birth to an evil twin

It told me I was a liar
And I was never to be trust
Cause what kind of man can never
Say no to the temptation of lust

A heart once so happy
what was giving to you to borrow
Was now nothing more than empty and cold
Filled with entities of hate and sorrow

All there was left for me
Was to accept this with grace
What once was so familiar
Was now an unknown face

In this dream I ask myself
Are you really you?
Or are I even myself
Or is this an illusion too?

For hours, months even years
An answer is searching me
Every time it finds its' way
I am left unable to see

After years of cold and darkness
When I'm about to give up the fight
At the very last inch of the tunnel
My eyes meet with a soft orange light

Its' presents alone paralyzes me
But takes away all my fears
As I keep getting closer
The image of you appears

It happens all so quickly
As the picture expanse
As if it were to tell me
"You've got another chance"

Even though it ran for years
It's like a sign from above
Spelling out the simple fact
It can never escape what's love

As it's standing there steady
And the night makes place for dawn
It was like it was there all along
The feeling of it was never gone

I gently walk towards it
I start hugging it like no one can
With the safe familiar feeling
It decides that only I'm its' man

As I see a smile upon the face
The one in which I used to drown
Happiness and luck take place
For what was once a frown

Face to face we come closer
And with the taste of our sweet lips
We hold each other firmly
As my hands grab its' hips

The images kiss passionately
As our hearts fill up once more
We follow the very thin path
That leads to an unknown door

As I open it up, it happens
the only thing that I fear
When I look aside me
The image seems to disappear

Rapidly I try to hold on to it
As I scream at it not to go
But soon everything is gone
And all there's left is a glow

Soon the sky gets filled with dark again
And on my knees I break down in sweat
But then miraculously the glow spells:
"We'll meet again, but not yet...not yet...
