Elucidating Questions

Is any of this even real?

Is it all a dream?

If it were a dream

There would be a great darkness coming for me

In the shape of a man

Whose arms are warmer than summer

Whose kisses fall like rain

Oh dream man

Who the hell are you?

Why does my mind return to you night after night?

I find myself begging with my dreams

Please just to see him

Please just to hold him

But in waking hours there is no one,

But which is really the dream?

Does a great man haunt me?

He started out as a long braided god of death

He’s taken many forms

He’s been beast and man and unfathomable

I search for him

If only he was here in waking hours

Or should I pray he stays away?

He brings something dark with him

But I still want him to stay
