It is a little vague rather than specific, which I think is a good thing because this isn't overly personalized. I guess we all know some asshole and we cannot let that person intrude on our dreams. Same asshole?
You stepped into my mind
last night as I dreamed wildflowers
the lapwings swooped down
and soon you were descending
from a talon
I smiled as I watched
you disintegrate into ash
then disappear from my dream universe
You’ve never been invited
never welcomed there
but I’m sure you’ll intrude again
if for nothing else
you’ll wannabe the overwhelming primrose
and it’ll be satisfying to see your exclusion
once again
Next time you could get buried
under a mountain of gooseberries
and shoveled into the back of a farm truck
hauling prickly pears
then packaged and shipped
to someplace like the Brazil
or even the Bermuda Triangle
Where you’d be swallowed whole
as your existence gets digested
and the print on your birth certificate
fades into the obscure
Maybe then you’d never come back
never step into my dreams
uninvited.
I do suggest making wannabe two seperated words. Where I am from a wannabe is someone trying to be something he or she is clearly not, different from wanna be the slangish verb.
I like this the way it is...one thought is stepped the best word choice for what you are saying? Stepped is a bold word where it seemed like this unwanted person kind of snuck in there and was quickly ignited.
