I Am

I am a sleeper;

Cresting waves of futures,

Falling into pits of the past.

Grasping at the brass ring;

My fingers turn to smoke,

My eyes close.

My eyes open;

The night yields before me,

I slowly stand up.

I am a runner;

My lungs create fire,

My breath becomes ice.

The Earth shakes;

Continents shift underfoot,

The seas churn.

My ambitions soar;

Will becomes wings,

Wings become desire.

I am a fighter;

Fists made of dirt,

Blood pours like milk.

Heart beat quickens;

Thrust is parried,

Riposte then press.

Two figures embrace;

The battle has ended,

Passion creates desire.

I am a lover;

Sweat glistens on skin,

The pupil dilates.

Fingers grope frantically;

There is no other moment,

There is no other time.

Embrace eternity;

Fill your mind with lights,

Slip off into the nether.

I am a dreamer.
