Illusion

Lucid Dream

I dreamed of having someone
with the same brain wave length as mine or longer
though I wasn't sure if that's even possible.
Someone who's nice, patient
and willing to give way
though I haven't encountered one.
Someone who can bear
my unbearable mood swings,
Crazy dance, tricky tactics,
constructive criticism
and face me, head to head,
toe to toe, hand tied.
though I know they're rare kind.
Someone with a prominent backbone,
integrity and muscled body as a bonus,
values other people
without neglecting himself,
kicks a pot, never his wife,
a hand that helps and support
not scare and scold,
possible though I don't know anyone.
Someone with a brain and humor
that can make me laugh till I fart
but knows how to handle
serious, deep conversations.
I know one person.

Then he started walking up to me
and his frame starts engulfing me
alive, whole, breathing...
There are two,
then there was one.
His face wasn't clear
as it lit up, reflecting what he feels.
I swam through his whole being
and I found nothing but flesh
fresh, warm flesh
and all I could hear
was his heartbeat.
Mine was lost,
lost in his heart's rhythm.
As his hand touched my face
I felt something strange.
He was about to say something
when I woke up from a dream.
