The Layers of Dreams

through the layers of dreams
facets of truth appear
that fascinate awhile
but after awhile they bore me
unnecessary in my drama
strange jewels surround these
protecting universal truths
though theres no need
to defend them against the likes
or dislikes of a capricious me
take me away to your colors
dance for me while i finger
the gavel the whip the sword
i never asked for
left under my pillow
i awoke one morning
with a sore heart & heavy eyes
and yet another layer
of dreams upon the sky
