syrupy dreams

the consistency
of my dreams
has changed
recently
they're heavy
in a way
that leaves me
wanting
more
syrupy
in a way
that melts
around
my tongue
I long for
the cool waters of certainty
that come
with deep
knowing
but instead of a clear pool
the images vanish
on smoky wisps
of memory
leaving me
wanting
to dive back in
to swim in serenity
to allow the thick, slow molasses to pull me under
to taste freedom
just for a glimpse
a connection
a tether
to another world
that makes me feel
whole
"syrupy dreams" is a poem by Amber Byers, 2025
