Dreams

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Dreams I hate my dreams For in them seems To lie the truth. And I can’t hide For there abides In sleep a sleuth Who with magic Often tragic Will uproot My tree of life From which I strive To harvest fruit. But if I weep not For my loss My dreams produce Another tree That cannot be Yet I deduce From its perfume Here lies the womb Of deeper truth And in its shade When I am laid Will fall its fruit.
