My World of Dreams

Tonight my ink runs down my cheek...
It flows past my lips to a place it speaks...

It catches paper dreams that can't be torn..
Like seeing through written pages not born...

I wink my eye to brush away a tear...
Then slowly the lines fade and disapear...

I crawl away from demons that know my mind...
Drifting into a place where words  are kind...

My eyes close in hopes of a peaceful night...
In a dream that spills into my morning light...

This is a common theme of yours. Your writing and your dreams... Yet each seems very unique.

Dreams can be beautiful sometimes. We all have our own little world of dreams. Thanks, Michael, you have to go back and read the right poem. It was not my Birthday. It was for Debbie. There was an error. Now it's fixed. It's for Debbie. Lucilla
