Dreams To Nought
Sleeping in perplexity
with velvet wings and iris eyes
aghast at dreams which don't comply
with all I think they signify
Breathing irregularity
with sashay coughs and biting teeth
impressed with everything I lose
in this night's dreams, beyond my reach
Catching night red-handed
with satchels full of wishes birthed
I made before I fell asleep
I count them still, I know their worth
Waking empty handed
with sleepy skin and fragile thoughts
a fistful left of midnight's breath
disintegrates my dreams to nought...
