DREAM LOVER . . . .

I realize that I am finally lost to reality
with this dream lover . . . .

You have wrapped yourself around me,
Cool not warm,
I think for a fleeting moment.

What is more disconcerting,
Is the faint feel
Of a tail
Wrapped around my ankle.

Who have I chosen for a lover,
Or, what has chosen me?

I struggle to come awake,
Only to realize I was never sleeping.

You smile, and I am willingly
drawn to you
again.
