Lioness Onpaper Poet Free verse

I Dream Poetry

Stay steady and silently still, 
Let me adore what your eyes do to my shivering quill, 
I am led astray between my walls and your words, 
Blinded by a cloud of these butterfly birds, 
The weight of my vocabulary seem to have lost it’s gravity, 
Relearning how to talk as I dream poetry, 
Shall I be an ornament, anonymous to your broken heart? 
As mine shifts in it’s grave hiding the pulverized parts, 
I can glaze my skin in all the sonnets and balladry, 
Let the sweetness of your tears drench me in melodious melancholy, 
I do not deny the searing sea you long to purge, 
Nor do I belong to the grief you submerge,
I am simply a fire set by your golden rays, 
And we are but mere fools trying to outrun our own mazes.
