I’ve met many women in dreams.
Ever hear of Marilyn Monroe?
Never met her in a dream, lol.
Always unknown women,
never erotic, sometimes romantic.
Erotic could mean a succubus – egads!
Just as things start to go somewhere
like a caress and a kiss, I wake up,
as if in dreams I’m striking out, lol.
To give an amateur interpretation
of those women in my dreams,
maybe somewhere in my muted depths
I’m a repressed romantic with
romantic notions sometimes
surfacing in my nighty slumbers.
When I first had a blood cancer,
that was trying its damnedest
to take me out, I began having
dreams of women galore
practically every night.
I wondered if they were like
angels hovering around me
to guide me into the afterlife
in case the cancer killed me.
After the cancer went into remission
two years ago, I rarely had
dreams of women, except an occasional
romantic dream of an alluring one.
