'In A Dream' Poem by Michael Micmac Mccrory

‘IN A DREAM’

You came to me in a dream so free
That how I want you always to be
In a dream: you see!
I don’t want your reality

I nearly crashed because of the glare
From your bright shiny black hair
It was then that everybody saw
The silly look on my jaw

They knew that you had reeled me in
By the sillier looking grin
The grin ever so broad
That left me locked jawed

But you smiled the same at every boy
The sadness soon soured the joy
As you flirted with everyone
I went to stare at the rising sun

Once had dreams of you as a wife
Now nightmares of taking my life
Climbed up and unto the ledge
And threw myself of suicide bridge

As frightened people scampered away
I was dying beneath the archway
But someone’s happy, don’t you know it
I became a muse, and inspired this poet
