Dreams

[R.C. KITCHENS]

try to sleep but
shadows on ceiling try
to gang up on this little light that
shines when it's time to bury my head and
dream up a world that I have been looking
forward to.

The things
that go through
my mind as I stare outside
and wonder why sparks of genius
come out so late at night. Just when
I feel about to sleep,
the curtains shake,
trees cast shadows,
house makes noises.

I think of
all the the things
I want to dream before
I close my eyes and drift away
to my special place?
sensual tastes?
the feeling of flight?
or the chef's special of this fantasy filled night.

Maybe I'll dream of
girls that were never approached
because I could not bring myself to go
and strike up a conversation, but now
it's up to my imagination

"this little light that
shines" Is cliche

That line above needs to be taken out. It messes up the rhythm. Makes me think of that Jesus song " this little light of mine, im going to let it shine" It may be one word different but its cliche. I like what your trying to do, but, some more imagery would be nice. what is your "special place"? Come to think of it, "special place" is cliche. I know this isnt a critique forum so just some advice.
