While resting in my nook, breaths grip As lampshade marks edges of leaves; That I wander into the scene On pages afloat, a tale weaves . Listening to my restless sighs, The hero wins a maiden fair Under the rim of jeweled clouds… Yet one dark villain lurks, beware! Though moonlight hides its varnished face My eyes pursue this raging quest; And though caught in flamed paradise Late hour ushers a sleep’s request . Tucking the book, whispers I hear Unto rivers of my vivid dream, Awaiting for morn to touch its ray To finish lines from a tale, supreme. Brian's Select 2
