Sleep – ahorsealone

Darling, sleep

Surrender
Within his language
Of youth and wisdom.

And sleep
Between the warm
Pages of time.

Let
Your thoughts settle
In a city of lost letters.

And dream
As life kisses you
With a her eyes.

Before my eyes settle to skies
And aimless wishes fall to dreams
I gaze across the cotton miles
And milky way shimmering streams.

I’d like to think there are those who
Have known rest on a cloud or two…
And close the curtains with this thought
Pretending to be, of those aloft.

Can you feel the moon as it was
That night that passed in falling stars?

We were since a bedtime fable…
Though sleep I shan’t,and sleep you’re able.

Flowers

My eyes oft searched through the dark,

As though my dreams were empty,

As though they wanted not a part

Of sleep I slept without thee.
