A Lover's Plight and Release

By Geri

He wandered through her mind 
Drifting in a castle of dreams 
A euphoria, an ecstatic high 

Until he saw the red flag, 
waving among the white. 
He knew was in the wrong world, 
he needed reality not desire. 

So he pulled away, 
eyes that fluttered open, 
back into the world he belonged.

    In the evening they throw it back to the sun 

    whose tendrils collect it 

    then go home
