You Turn Up Unannounced

You creep into my dreams the same way you creep into my poems.

In my dream last night I was driving my car. But I heard your voice.

You were far off, talking to my mum.

Then you walked into my old bedroom.

And I got up off the bed and went over to you, and

kissed you on the cheek,

not the lips.

See?

Even in my dreams I know we’re over.

Wow! - really good, really sad & has a ring of truth to it. mega.
just shows though how some of the gems on here still slip through the net & quality needs/deserves to be praised.

IMO, fantastic. Simple but compelling; the universal quality of dreams involves the reader totally. And the long lines work too, better than breaking them up. Great title.
