Stealing From Dreams

jacob_dream_1

thoughts of
you were agony
intertwined
with utter bliss

no noble calm
resists where
vagrant emptiness
invades

relief is sought
a reverie, moments
bought with Bacchus gold
for peace of mind

I steal from dreams
a pilferer who clings
to vines of memory
climbs again where

blossoms sing – they
seed a scent with
redolent imaginings
on which I feed
