Minds Sleep

I'm unable to smell your hair scented in my dreams which leave at odd moments. Losing them would be defenseless. I fantasize they are gathered at my front gate-- unable to enter. I'm cannot at times, paint your face all's gone down in the river's flow behind my eyelids, blinking thoughts of you. I'm cannot ungaze my gaze, untie my mind, uncoil my hand. And, you know nothing of me or my dilemmas. You live in the outer world; cannot enter mine; which languishes on couches in my own mind confined and sneaker-shoed. I cannot abide the sun; you bathe in light. I am dark, intense-- the unlight. How can we opposites approach; day and night? How can two lips react; love requited; unaddressed we; polarities. I am unable to cry or consume a love which does not exist. But pure it is; complete, encapsulated in my mind's sleep. Unaltered, permanent, it rests eternally secured; neither past, present or future. I bang my wall  hoping the sound  will rise up to where you live: my ceiling love; whose footsteps fall  each night  lovingly; just for me below unknown, unseen.
