I Will Hold My Pen To Sleep

I will hold my pen to sleep

When the day comes with no words for poetry 

I will dream of our infant voices 

as mother warns us to quit the dashes 

Yet we will run into to the kitchen 

Hiding and seeking 

Happy and smiling 



That I may wake with a forgetful feeling
Of when you came at me
Dressed in the warm skimpy memories

When we played childishly

I shall dream of our happy screams

Even if they are now of dusty voices 



A paper, a pen; both ready

I shall finally map out this wording;


       "I dreamt of our infant voices

         As mother warned us to quit the dashes 

        Yet,we ran into the kitchen

         Hiding and seeking,

         Happy and smiling"
