Infidelity In Dreaming Poem by poppy miller

Her heart fettered in a northern zone
In Arctic's winter, long and cold
In salty winds which stung and cut
She craved a lover bold

Her bleeding heart which sought a lover
Bred storming agonies in her mind
To peck away like guileless gulls
And she could not - no quiet find.

And so to dreaming she did turn
Where life was love and skies were blue
With roses round her heart entwined;
Oh love, how she was in love with you.

She dreamed a lover, tall and strong
Gave him eyes for her alone
Taught him speech that he might woo her
In sultry, deep, caressing tone.

Her world took on a vibrancy
The likes of which no one has seen
In violets, reds and gold's she dreams,
And forty shades of green.

Cocooned in floating rainbow dreams,
On gossamer gliding clouds she flies
With lips apart in breathless wonder
Betwixt the fabled velvet skies.

Will she hear the echoes of reality
Where sits her master's feeding bowl
Leave her world of consumptive dreams
Or drown, in dreaming sin without a soul?
