Lilacs in Harmony

my body grows lilacs
they swell in my ears
almost like beeswax
dispelling sounds,
cries of help


the sweet purple runs through me 
reminders of cajole come to distract
the misty perfume
brings weary sighs
i must sleep


while awake, my head is etching for freedom
slumber brings opportunity
the real world lies there
like a guitar singing
fragmented moments are pieced together
