He kept asking but answers eluded him

Fragments of his memories or
just figments of his imagination
Salacious episodes popping
like crackers all heavy and juicy
Light and dark images dancing
in the shadows gone berserk

Nothing had changed in his routines
But must dreams raucous and ravenous
keep appearing in the still of nights

He watched the clock ticking when
startled from his slumber eyes blurry
Theft of his sleeping hours would leave 
him woozy but he remained uptight

He kept asking but answers eluded him
What could he do to rid off the dilemma
He had not been thoughtless but still his
head kept spinning his thoughts numbed
Not that young to be privileged with
erotic dreams he persisted to get answers

He would like to dream again tonight!

  4. Sometimes I've tried so hard to get back to sleep quickly enough to experience the end of the dream!!

  5. A lovely poem, Hank :-) It made me think of when dogs dream and start moving their legs around as if they're experiencing their dream for real. But sleep theft is no laughing matter! :-)
