Dream Poem by Oge Nwankwo

Reality...
Reality is this
I am cursed with you Dream
Cursed to wake and sleep with thee
Cursed forever and never to be free
Let me rest from
The restless slip from here to you
A world where you really exist
A world where you no longer are
Only just a dream...
Reality sees this passion as it swells
And to this Dream, He is no match at all
So like a coward
He rears His attack
From anywhere else but face to face
This Dream struggles
It struggles to emerge as something more
Something more than just a dream

Reality meets my dreams
And with no warnings at all
It stiffles...

I sniffle...
I need you to find air...
