A.M.

 A.M.

Eyes open and dreams flee

Rain beats against the glass

Why is life not ever kind

To a tie-dyed dreamer like me

Eyes open

Rapid eye movement

Diminishing like rain

While remnants of that dapper man

Flashed in the back of my brain

Why is life not ever kind

To a tie-dyed dreamer like me

Wrinkled sheets and pounded, pushed in pillows

Limbs that ache for human touch arise

Morning DJs relay the weather

In clear resonant tones 

Amid the aches and pains of early morning 

The universal sound of human moans

Eyes open and dreams flee

Rain beats against the glass

Why is life not ever kind

To a tie-dyed dreamer like me.
