How Do You Dream With Eyes Wide Open

How do you dream with eyes wide open

How do you dream
with eyes wide open?
Every breath tantalizes
and mesmerizes
the warm
and the frozen.

The warm-
A mystery of tomorrow
or seconds from now,
when human touch
seals a smile across
your face.

Where love is not pleasure;
It is the coin we toss in
the fountain
that reverberates and
defines and inspires.

We carry love.
Our frozen memories
Bridge to love.
It is the only way we can 
Survive.

Dare I ask,
How do you dream
with 
Eyes wide open?
