Ghairo Daniels Poet Rubaiyat

Let Poems Bring Dream Sleep

“I drink poetry like champagne in Timelessness, purifying me, strengthening me, calming me…” Poet

        <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>

Fear not to seed dismantling of Time  
as fairies jingle to eternal rhyme 
relay questions to angelic billies 
surrender thorned horn as muted chime 

Delightful drum rolls voice verses frilly 
listen lingering to lyrics silly 
fingering silky hair, smooth tulip neck 
frequency of name will be moon's tilly ~ 

Fear not to transmute hot tears that wreck 
soothing away of niggly grains of speck 
tinkle brass keys in freedom's pearly waves 
gliding Spirit’s sanguine undying beck 

Hail now, splendid maids with cute sterling knaves 
let poems bring sleep in dream cosy caves
ache not for peeps or smooth ebony cheeks 
drink pomegranates' nectar, leaving raves !

Daniel Henry Rodgers February 3, 2026 at 6:41 AM Dear Ghairo, It's like opening a door into a private dream-chamber and letting the rest of us stand there for a moment. I can hear a real longing for rest, for release, for that soft place where the mind finally let's go. Just like a lullaby written by someone who’s lived through enough pain to know why dream-sleep matters. Winter Blessings, Ghairo, Daniel Ghairo Daniels February 3, 2026 at 7:03 AM ThkU as always for your commitment to this site giving feed-back, Daniel. You are an insightful reader & this makes it worth writing to post here, despite its various slants. I know that you know pain is necessary & that we chose it before embodiment. To sit with it is the test. Poetry helps that “sitting & silent observation” I respect you.,Ghairo.
