Perchance the dream exchange is the real one

You came to me between the seams
Of swollen eyelids, horizon peaks, and fantastic scenes
Boarded the submarine of consciousness
And slipped, as I did, beneath the surface
That superficial visceral did fray when day was surrendered
And the b-side of mind's eye played unhindered as nickels were tendered
The jukebox began its duty as forbidden rhythms indulged my hidden sin
And within - We kissed
For there is no patience for inhibition, reasoning or waiting
for time to meet place correctly, it's urgency, and life is fading
And within - We kissed
I relinquish that it felt so natural, bubble wrapping you in these arms
I surmise that this castle in the sky is not without its charm
Knowing you how I do, showing you me unglued
In the left hemisphere I tasted fruit on your lips
And within - We kissed
Friends were there and expressively the delta state unwound
Until you dissapeared from view, but not from the grounds
I knew you had gone to bed, and a reckoning was beckoning
And I admit the weight of it was deafening
Calling as I was standing with a choice to motivate feet
A secret to the other stars as mercury met heat
But familiar to me as family, as its roots reach to waking
While I stood moment taking, placating and debating
Alone, I was, weighing with both hands
But the oracle was an instrument as she explained to the man:
"You cannot see past decisions you do not understand"
So the phone rang and I returned to the incense burn
Thoughts of coffee and bagels for which I yearn
So I ponder aloud about this made-believe bliss
About the passion, the fortune, the action and the risk
Facing you in my memory
And within- We kissed
