Communication Sonnet #5

We were last night in Dreamland, you and me,
In a mansion or a hotel? A crowd
Of people everywhere, fantastically
Arrayed. I hear your name spoken aloud,
I whirl to catch a glimpse then look away.
You must realize that I am very proud
And you were cruel to me. Until the day
That you apologize I am unbowed.
I look for shelter on the premises,
Escape by climbing the spiral staircase -
Which leads straight to my mortal nemesis.
You smile like a god of divine grace.
O curséd dream that bares my naked wish!
I cry awake in heartbroken anguish.
