I dreamt a dream but when the night was young,
And the moonlight sang lullabies,that doves-
Fair-feathered slept to,while boughs at guard hung,
Like a lover stands eyeing her, he loves.

I dreamt a dream that I had discovered,
In the most unexpected of places,
In epiphanic manner uncovered,
The true possessor of divine graces.

There was a chant that I heard in the dream,
That made me, unknowingly, pledge my soul;
Thus, 'To thee,to thee' did I sing and scream,
And woke up,as if released on parole.

(Later.)

Queen Mab,yet again blessed me at hour wee,
And O, did I dream? And what did I see?
Liebestraum means 'Love Dream'.
Inspired by Liebestraum No. 3 in A Flat Major by Liszt.

It seems I'm caught in a love dream*

Sometimes, often, in fact
In deep unrest I reside
I wonder if it’s really love I feel
Is it possible?
I doubt it highly.
Or perhaps I’m fooling myself—-
Is Whimsy whisp’ring in my ear?
Is Folly fondling my sleeve?
Do they join hands and cavort about me
Gamboling and giggling in my bewilderment?
Has Verity vanished and I’ve made myself companion to droll Devils?
Surround me
For in this state, I know not whom is Truth
and who at present dons Deceit’s disguise…
Alessander Mar 2015
It's not so much your lips
But the words behind them
And the touch my skin still tingles from
And the way your closed eyelids warm
My stiff neck in the morn

I can see you layered there, bundled
Among the blankets you stole from me
Some time during the night
One hand tucked under the pillow
The other serenely on the bed

You lazily turn, half-languidly
Digging your head into my broad breast
Then heave your leg over my thigh
Kissing my scruffy beard

How can I summon the will
To wake and troop to work?
To be sobered from my delirium!
To be polluted by time and space!
Yanked away from your ethereal landscape
And hurled into corporate junkyards
Of grinding metal, cubicles, alarms
I want to dwell forever in your liebestraum
Like a ghost drifting through a foggy rose garden

I'm pathetically intensely in love with you,
Lost in your symphony, the Liebestraum (Love's Dream).
I have stitched you into my heart with threads of veins.
You became a rare *****, Don't let it slip.
Don't let it slip, don't let it shatter;
It's yours to keep, forever to matter.
I adore your sonata, each note that you speak,
A melody eternal, tender, and unique.

I’m lost in your eyes; you’re my starry night,
I have lost my mind to capture your light.
You are heavenly divine, I can't deny:
I worship your beauty, a moth drawn to sky.
We will dance in the country, a kiss goodnight.
Sway on the swing, bathed in soft moonlight.

I will have you with all the darkness that you hide,
And offer my madness, wild, untied.
I’ve seen the seasons that live in you—
The autumn’s fall in each blink, so true.
A ray of sun rests on your lashes,
A white full moon in your eyes flashes

Oh, these marks? They’re scars you left behind,
The storm of your touch, a thunder divine.
There’s rain cascading through your hair,
A cozy warmth when you’re near to share.
You’re every atom in my being’s tide;
We must collide, as worlds confide.
I love your blues, as the shadow loves light,
Bound together, eternal in flight.

A Liebestraum and two Arabesques
stood there holding me
between the ears
one mundane evening…

The indoor storm who knew could deject
one so boldly
cleaned its final tears
and left me be…

A new wave calm eschewed ‘til present
flooded in me
serene and aptly dear
calmness…

For a moment I felt a sense of clarity that had neglected me for ages.
My sullen blues and anxious reds faded to black,
and all manner of emotion had been evicted from my mind.
I could think about things in straight lines and deep focus
for an entire ******* moment.

Then Spotify had to ruin the moment
with an indie rock montage in my queue.
I cried.
haha im so chaotic
