a dandelion in my dream

as she strikes my heart with
her smile's sword, i bleed blue
butterflies with wide white wings—making me forget grief's gloom.

unfold me into water & spread me,
like the earth, on the face of fire—
burning in the love's dessert—to
remind myself “there's art in ashes.”

i see a dandelion in my dream—
blooming into a moon on the
14th lunar-night's face; glowing
anew like a big-star in winter's day.

& let none tells me dream lies in
the arms of nature, lest i lost in
the mist of illusion—searching for
an eden to pluck the dandelion.
