~Dream World ~
Drifting into that void
a dream world that is in-between
conscious thought
and fragmented remembrances
Old memories come flooding in
to mingle with the new
tangling in a downward spiral
Thoughts of your new dreams
get pushed aside when you are helpless
not on guard
the old ones come knocking
tantalizing, taunting, teasing you again
Those dreams you hold at bay
creep in like
lost lovers from before
invading, interfering blending
with your current ones
Confusing longing for what was
with a hunger for what could be
as you struggle to differentiate
between fragmented dreams images
and reality
Knowing that dreams
can’t keep you warm at night
or answer passions call
as your subconscious tries to awake
escaping
this disconcerting dream world

On a deep dive through the sea of imagination, "Dream World"
depicts the emotions and the feelings of a
psycho-physiological dream.
I have learned from the reading of "Dream World". It offers an intriguing, enchanting reading.
Long Blissful Creative Life, Poet!

Excellent write well perceived!
