Frivolous

I have never fantasized about you, yet there you were in my dreams last night
Where are you going to be tonight? Will you find another unsuspecting drifter in their dreams and will you leave them aghast?
Do you do this every night? I’m almost afraid to entertain the thought that you might have been inside my head while I slumber many nights before and I had failed to remember
I wonder whether out there somewhere there is a law that stands against this foray I wonder if it’s still consensual if I’m taking pleasure in my sleep I certainly cannot prove your presence here last night, and I will bet my granny’s geisha collection that you have alibi s
I wish you could have at least given me a heads up last night before you materialised in my stillness, leaving me with an echoing emptiness because for some reason that I cannot comprehend your presence and your absence have now become my obsession
Impetuous little boy, that’s what you are, but should you come tonight, at least I’ll be dressed the part

  1. This one is haunting, I am sensing a theme in your poetry. I cannot wait to get to Grahamstown to catch up with you.
