this is one of my favorites :))
---
during the
brief pauses
in time
what do you dream about?
huddled under the
covers
at three a.m.
the only sounds in the
otherwise-silent house
the faint "brrr" of the
heater
and the clacking of your
nails
on the keyboard
as you
write
during the
brief pauses
in time
what do you dream about?
your mind wanders to
overgrown castles
lakes with swords
stuck in rocks at the bottom
princesses and
fairytales
falling into love
during the
brief pauses
in time
what do you dream about?
a pencil scratching on
binder paper
the muttered whispers
of a troubled, tortured soul
spilling out
like a knocked-over cup of
coffee
during the
brief pauses
in time
what do you dream about?
the wind whistling through
dark forest trees
the feeling of soft moss
underfoot
as you run for the edge
only to be pulled back
into the snarling vines
by a root wrapped tight
around your ankle
during the
brief pauses
in time
what do you dream about?
stargazing and sunsets
the ding of bicycle bells
as you speed down the
street
joyrides and sunshine
melodic laughs and
lips
crafted by aphrodite herself
during the
brief pauses
in time
what do you dream about?
loving someone
so much that your heart
could burst
from the sheer amount of it
diamond rings
and ruby necklaces
fine china
white dresses
during the
brief pauses
in time
what do you dream about?
because i dream of
aeroplanes
that could fly me somewhere
runways
with a lone figure standing
at the end
arms open wide
as if to say
"i've been waiting for you here
forever."
