Waking eyes

I'm sure there were

landscapes of grandeur

and gardens of splendor

and exotic flora colored

in hues too vivid for

waking eyes

I'm sure there were

mansions of loftiness

and costumes of luxuriousness

and characters dressed

in personas too legendary

for waking eyes

I'm sure there were
stories of desire

and dialogues of fire

and moments saturated

in emotions too rich

for waking eyes

yet I will never know for sure

as my dog re-situated

his place at my feet on the bed
