Love Poem: Dreamland

Dreamland

It's the moment at the deepest part of your sleep
It takes hours to attain this second to keep
Our slumber usually does not achieve this utopian ecstasy 
The interaction you wish continues endlessly
But once in a blue moon, a moment you never expect
The moment arrives where you truly connect
As you see the second half, completing the full moon
And their eyes are made to fully consume
All of their perfection manifested from your mind
Into a form which only your subconscious can define
Everything is vivid, everything is clear
Fear leaves your heart as your heart delves into the nearest dear

Realer than reality
Better than destiny
More serene than serenity
Pristine felicity

And then you fall into the void
As your dream is dismantled and destroyed
You knew from within that it was too perfect to be real
But you went on anyway, blissfully ignorant appeal
Inward peace when outward chaos
As your eyes ease open only to loss
Quickly, return to slumber
But the dream is no longer
No way to go back, no matter how you try
And at this point you knew it was all a lie
But sometimes the lie is the ideal reality
Better than the realm of actuality
Where the significant other may not see you so significant
Or perhaps they're away, astray, or on the other side
This moment will stick with you throughout the day
And it will either decay or be immortalized in a poem on display

Send me back to dreamland
For I demand something grand
Not this cell so bland
But a world of my command
And my vivid other in a moment unplanned
