prophetic dreams

you were angry and arrogant
the rooster denoting
a bad man
whose words are trite
but when we toured my home
and all its rooms we found
a pool
still and serene,
in mutual awe we stood
but did not swim.
certainly symbolizing
the depths of my subconscious
you would unearth great fears
of abandonment when,
the flood of your lies and
true colours shone
like the coral jowls swaying on your soft, pale chest
and as the torrents of rain flooded the field
my beautiful house came down.
following the explosion
there was a great fire
and i would not get near.
then,
an old lover spoke to me -
you are like a child.
