Breeding Box Valley

                         l
                         s
     Creeping on my windowpane
        peek into my heart, them I refuse
          Awake, I fear their unknown recluse
           They wind my shivering fears in threads
            and let them curl till they squeeze to last bead
             haloed drops disperse from my window
          my anxieties engulfed afloat like paper boats
        spiral dreams bubble from the breeding-box valley
      my room lit with their playful exuberance
    Ah! One tendril I catch at last              y   
  It lends me a hand to ascend          l   
 we swivel from bedside and       f     
Afar, bursting light brewing hope
across the county line 
Rhapsody of enchanting mid nights
 the old gatekeeper that sings
  white patches melt in golden hues
    dreams tiptoe through mauve skies
     treasures of crimson opera, I unlock
       memories blush revealing dim chandeliers
          they become more mine than I am 
           then lull me to sleep as I release 
           the effervescence dancing to beats
          in the ballroom of my subconscious mind
        like reclined paper planes in azure clouds
      that spiral love on their paper boats 
   as snowflakes in the city that never sleeps

John Watt June 23, 2020 at 4:06 PM Your top win in the spiral contest is well-deserved. You should be very proud of this entry, Aditi, it is so full of dreamy images, and metaphors of freedom and flight with enough ambiguity to allow the imagination to roam. I loved "the effervescence dancing to beats / in the ballroom of my subconscious mind". Keep writing these beauties!
