In a Dream

In a dream, I ate and ate
Delightful meals on silver plates,
Another laid before my eyes,
The most alluring, to my surprise
A spherical object, I gasped at the sight,
A smaller sized melon, to my delight,
I touched it a bit, and began to feel,
It felt so soft, so smooth, so surreal.
The inside was hard, but my hunger knew no bounds,
I knocked on its exterior and it made no sounds,
The inside was not hollow, that much was true,
For the delectable fruit, my hunger grew.
I picked it up, drew it closer to my face,
Took in its aroma and my mind began to race.
Just like that, I went in and took a bite,
But couldn't break through, not with all my might.
I weakened the shell by gnawing on it a bit,
Finally heard a crack and my eyes became lit,
I gnawed some more, breaking through the shell,
I took a big whiff, and nearly dropped down and fell.
It smelled like heaven, the greatest thing in existence,
I couldn't hold it in any more, there was no more resistance,
I dug my hands in and grabbed some fruit,
The flavor indescribable, its finest attribute.
I shoved it in my mouth, the feeling euphoric
It was the greatest thing I'd ever tasted, truly historic
I dove in for more, and soon began to crave
I could even gorge myself until I reached the grave
I devoured it in seconds and was covered in juices,
The bottom of the shell remained, having no uses.
What was left of the fruit sat, lying on my plate
The greatest meal I'd ever had, there'd be no debate.
There was still some fruit left, to my surprise,
I began to pick it up and let it meet my eyes,
I tilted it down and drank what remained,
I then tore it apart in two, noting strength that I had gained.
Sadly, in a flash, the dream had already ended,
I couldn't manage to remember any dreams so splendid,
I looked over with peace, alongside my son in bed
However, I nearly died of fright when I saw his torn apart head.
