Thorny Poetry - 9. A Happy Sad Dream
i had a dream
that you and i were friends
you were up on the stage
i was in the audience
it was a wonderful show
i whooped and applauded
and when you came down
by all you were lauded
they stood in a line
waiting to greet you
i stood off to the side
just hoping to meet you
and when you saw me
you cried, ‘Hello there!
I thought that was you;
I was hoping you’d be here!’
when the crowd had dispersed
you told me you’d missed me
that you’d thought of me often
you hugged me and kissed me
you asked me kindly
if i was still on the meds
i said that i was
but i was on the mend
then we made art together
and chatted for hours
we drank lots of wine,
and your healing powers
seeped into my bones;
i was happy again
though the voice of reason said
it must come to an end
and then i woke up;
it had all been a dream
and i wept bitter tears
for what had never been.
