What Do They Mean?

by HarryT

I try to tame the late-night flights
Schemes in mist of darkness unfold
Dreams that beam out of my control

How do I grasp, how to comprehend
Images flickering on my mind screen?
Are they projections of deep-seated wishes?
Or simply unconscious desires to be achieved?

I try to depict the images on paper, seeking
To grasp and understand what transpires
Blending images into stories and poems
I wonder is the time spent worth the effort?

Don’t know the answer, but still, I dream
So still I conspire to understand, they are
Sometimes the same, other times not
Other dreams fearful, but sometimes not
What am I being told by these vacuous scenes?

Sometimes I’m lost wandering downtown
Searching for my car in an out of parking lots
Wandering not knowing how to get to my home

Same dream over and again like a refrain
No car, don’t know how to take a bus or train
Old loves, new love, no love at all
Anxiety writhing in nightmarish pall

Still, I ponder, still I ask
Over and over what are these
Chaotic dream-stories about?
