i dreamt

i dreamt of a changed mind
intervention by two
were they angels?
or were they sent to deliver misery?
they twisted the way
my image feeds into your head
surrounded me in roses
where there were once thorns
framed me in perfume
where there was once stench
and your eyes settled on me
more gently than before

i dreamt of a changed mind
a mass of green and purple and red
you handed to me
wrapped so softly in white
it came with a bashful smile
a confused look
like a deer newly born into the world

i dreamt of a changed mind
a beautiful creature
once was out of reach
now is mine to hold

i dreamt of a changed mind
not yours, but mine
the flowers were poisonous to my touch
your glance fed arrows
into the heart you once melted
but now is hard as stone

long ago in the fabric of dreams
i smiled at the stitches you left
when your hand held mine
as we crossed rivers together
as we shared our dreams
within mine

i dreamt of a changed mind
last night

this morning i woke with tears
