Night
In jasmine centered night there
at the window in the ample spread
of Night thighs
defeated demons sigh
reaching with futile
grasp at dissolving dreams
sliding safely away on
granite guard-rails as
the trilled whistle of possibility sings
granite guard-rails as
the trilled whistle of possibility sings
safely slipped into a scrap of sunset domain
All is secure
in jasmine centered night
there at that window
Night
lush, languid,
liquid births its
melted mystic
what was
montage
into what
is yet to beas Dawn sleeps
with folded wings
in the arms of
Morpheus
You had fun with this one. Your "melted

Hi Pearl!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite lines:
"as Dawn sleeps
with folded wings"
"the trilled whistle of possibility sings

Lovely. Especially the second stanza. Dawn sleeping with folded wings - really beautiful imagery you got going. Great work! =) Thanks for the read.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Pearl. My favs are the same as most listed here, which is reassuring. :)
ReplyDelete"jasmine centered night." "dawn sleeping with folded wing."
ReplyDeletegood job, very good.
The thought popped into my head of being woken up in a hospital bed to have to take a sleeping pill! Perhaps the jasmine was in a vase at the window beside the bed... Nicely wordled.
