Deja vu dreams

sorenbarrett

In hazes of soft slumber

I slip into another dimension,

whose permeable membrane

I can only penetrate in dreams,

awakening to an alternate reality,

activating forgotten, familiar, memories,

of things that never happened,

places that never were,

people I never knew,

in a time that never was

A proxy verisimilitude

more real than any daylight hours

with visions and emotions more vivid

than these now living

Memories so fixed

in my evolutionary foundation

that I trust them

beyond the actual occurrence of sensations

A reality so reliable and above suspicion

that it is hard wired into my consciousness

and is no less believable

than this, from which I speak

    'A proxy verisimilitude
    more real than any daylight hours
    with visions and emotions more vivid
    than *my eye-prickling reality*'
    indeed, wise Poet
    I so relate!
    (dreamscape's where, our dreams
    aspire to afford us an escape
    from existence's, endless barrage
    of bleak horizons and plaguing
    shadowless memories, as ghost's
    of hollowed out regret's
    footprint trails, legacy of a life
    draped in those ashes
    of once, blindingly inflamed
    hope
    still, while we can breathe
    we can blink
    hoping for a new vista of life
    to arrive
    and on.. dreamscape's
    to reality escapades, we strive
    to survive
    one nightmare, at a time)
