Of Sleeping and Dying

Disharmony tinted blond, mars the house
My thoughts as cluttered as the mess
The sun slips in as I lie on my couch
It splatters a gem on my chest:
luminosity blessed; lightly touched

Yet my fears, they often succeed my hopes
A desire, bloodshot cast, disarms:
Feel the Winter sky! In the falling snow!
Unwind nature’s tapestries like gay yarn,
When Spring gates with its soothing charm

As the blue-green sea rolls toward the shore
And Summer’s white lust cloaks my skin
Skin I wish to shed as I did before,
When Fall, florid leaves scattering
Reveals frigid carved black brown fingering

This stirling white light casts its shading;
immaculate eve is seeking;
It tempts the stars, elfulgence cascading
Swivel time passing! So fleeting!
Rise! Gander a blithesome spirit leaving!
