Cascade of Dreams

You know you're in love

When you can't fall asleep

Because reality is finally better

(Better) than your dreams

(Dr. Seuss)

When you and the world spin off the axis

When your butterfly brain lights only on her

When your voice is low, smooth honey whiskey

You know you're in love

You walk like an old salt on shore leave

You think in circles that intersect

You speak like the record player's at half speed

When you can't fall asleep

In the ecstasy of sleep you dreamed

She has made those dreams come true

Now you need not be afraid of waking

Because reality is finally better

Reality used to be a fun house mirror maze

Other's image of you tried to bend, shrink, or stretch

In the end no one knows you

Better than your dreams
