To go to sleep Tired and confused To go to sleep Unwittingly and naively To go to sleep Full of grace To go to sleep With love in mind To go to sleep Passionately awake To go to sleep With the hope of waking up To go to […]
You make me presentable
You hold me up You keep me together You make me presentable Although, ostensibly nowadays I hold you up Synergistic Contemplative A strong constitution No zephyr can tear you apart But my unhappiness can You bind me For we are interlocked You remind me of when I need […]
You live in darkness
Not a bitter heart Not a hardened bone You’ve been tickled pink You’ve danced a mighty step You are not dark You can love Yet you live in darkness Fear, all consuming The shades are down The mufflers lessening the noise Tired worn paths provide comfort Everything for […]
