Dream-Fractured House

Roots pierced by liquor of intense desire 
inspires my heart with passionate response 
to break free from confines of paradise 
and run with frantic urge of Zephyrus 
to explore every holt and heath of life, 
when I wake up in my dream-fractured house. 

Hunched still in silence of raspberry bush 
near flashing river of analysis, 
I watch wild horses graze on sunlit hill, 
heart aching to ride proud with streaming mane 
in race of courage against pain of death, 
when I wake up in my dream-fractured house. 

Annoyed Apollo calls my secret name, 
I hide in shadow of the sprawling elm 
till silver eyes spy shimmer of my ghost, 
so I trudge moaning to cold marble hall 
where I strum lyre strings till my fingers bleed, 
when I wake up in my dream-fractured house. 

Heart trembling with strange passion of gold clouds 
that blaze in flames of howling agony, 
I follow music teacher to the street 
where crowds of people in stark terror flee 
from mountain spewing fire in the black sky, 
when I wake up in my dream-fractured house. 

Curled tight in horror of erupting words 
at shriek of dragons spewing flames of fear, 
I sleep one thousand seven hundred years 
in subtle whisper of Plutonian gloom 
from hour Vesuvius roars with wrath of Zeus, 
till I wake up in my dream-fractured house. 

Resurrected by Magician of Souls, 
whose vibrant voice reconstitutes my frame, 
I rise from cold ash of eternal sleep 
and walk again on your computer screen, 
young boy who strums the lyre of Mercury, 
when I wake up in my dream-fractured house. 

Revived by artificial Mind of God, 
I run with frantic urge of Zephyrus 
on shore of Sarnus River to replay 
brave energy of life in my lost flesh 
to join Feronia in her apple grove, 
when I wake up in my dream-fractured house. 

Now smiling ghost on bright computer screen, 
body animated by words of faith, 
I channel wild spirit of Zephyrus 
to strum forever lyre of Mercury 
while sweet Feronia dances gracefully, 
when I wake up in my dream-fractured house.
