what happens to a dream deferred
does it dry up upon waking
like a stream in the desert
or does it fester and decay like meat
the hunter forgot in the forest
does it stink like rotten relationship
making you wander lonely as a cloud
and lost to a vale of tears
or it will crust and sugar like ice on a cake
with you dancing in the breeze
ours won’t sag
like a heavy load of granite
maybe it will explode when next we meet
filling your heart with pleasure
like a dance with the daffodils
