What's the strangest dream you've ever had?

Well, I once dreamt I was on the African veldt, lost.

I had no idea of which way to go. On one side of me there was a herd of elephants with a big bull elephant looking very menacing, opposite to them was a large tree 🌳 with a leopard sitting up in its boughs, some wildebeest were close by and also a recently drained waterhole with several buzzards pecking at the mud on the side which was drying rapidly in the hot sun 🌞.

Suddenly I heard someone approaching me, heavy feet, and scared I turned, there was an elephant calf, who looked at me with that childish sense of fearless enquiry, and as I met it's stare, it tossed it's little trunk up in the air, and with a distinct white Rhodesian voice it asked me, "Are you lost?"

My mind rushed back to my first meander down the Walworth Road alone aged ten, in my little summer frock, when I bumped into a middle aged man under the railway bridge, who asked me the same question!

"I Don't Want To Be Alone"



It started with a dream, Her dream.

A gathering of friends and family,

Me, sitting on a rock.

Photographing the smiles, the laughter,

the shenanigans.

And she looked around, and I was gone.

Vanished into thin air, right before her eyes,

Should have been no surprise.

I'd been dead for months, yet I was always watching over Her,

Them.

Tears flowed like an autumn rain,

Grief flowed down her cheek,

Driving her insane.


My dream, deep within my sleep-

The image of Her.

Her touch, still warm as the sun,

Her laughter, her love, her ability to make me feel as

One.

I'm alone, and God knows, I don't want to be.

I don't want to be alone, be alone, be alone.

I don't want to die alone, die alone, die alone.

Alone, without Her,

I might as well be

Dead...

Tears from from my face, soaking the pillow where I smother my head.

Sweat soaks the sheets, my body tangled in this lonely bed.

God knows, I don't want to be alone, be alone,

Be alone.

I wake up, her soft, hot skin tells me I'm alive,

and so is she, so it seems.

My soul dances to her voice,

As she speaks to me softly-

"I had a dream," she says.
