Lonna Blodgett Poet Free verse

Dreaming Awake

impish promises
reminisce to wish
for your kiss upon
my foolish heart
that meanders
perfectly unaware
obliviously blind
to the stargazing Cherub's prayer
eating the lotus flowers in your hair

guileless and moonfaced 
a simpleton I am
like peanut butter to jam
I glue to you and blend
my foolish heart to lend
to the innocence of wonder that begins
as I read your storybook without knowing
where to look for the end
I linger to vanish and conceal
with the enchantment that steals
my foolish heart
