Water, waves, crashing against my face

The light of the sunrise slowly seeps into my dark window
Blurred vision, I hear screaming, suddenly
I realize I’m dreaming.
Deep I fall into the never ending blue,
I can feel the cool water surround me,
drown me,
pull
      me
           under

Sinking into the darkest depth
The abyss
I’m still breathing

Breathing in the darkness
Blue smoke touching ever surface
Of my so, sleepy, lungs
Pale skin
A shiver
That leaves my spine open
I hold my breath a second too long
My body no longer sinks
Firmly planted on the ground
I try my best not to make a sound
Suddenly my body takes over
This is not my own body however,
For my hands have bee exchanged for paws
My toes, claws
I run on rays of yellow-green sunshine
A slow motion picture of a life passing by
Grey and black flash across the scene
I jump but its gone
Too fast for my clumsy new feet
I turn to look for my prey again
This time, Im back in my bed,
Out of my chaotic head
I feel your embrace
I’m in the arms of a familiar face
A familiar place, a familiar space
Rose petals for lips
Graze my head
Your fingertips
Comb through my hair
Brown, long
Like the last fallen leaves
Of a willow
I open my eyes
Light really is shining through
The large window
At the corner of my room
My eyes still sleepy
I use my fingers to see
Arms and fingers stretched out wide
I search through my covers
Looking for your soft hands
And rose petal lips
Yet, my hands come back empty, and 
Across my bare back
Cool air
I shiver

This work is simply based off of bits and parts of dreams I've had. I wanted to keep it in a dream like state, so people reading could imagine it through my own perspective.
