Sleepless Night

It’s 1:25 why oh why Am I up at this hour Did the phone ring Or was it a denim dream Planted in mind like green flower Earlier today was only half awake Was fatigued and really annoyed Not even piano could I play To fill the blue thrilless void Oh poetry come rescue me Give breath to dormant thoughts Green like my snake plant leaves Or red like bedroom lover hearts Take me to your room poetic muse And strip me of my clothes Let our kinetic kisses burgundy bloom Placed from head to brown toes Rid me of this waste of night Where fireflies dance upon moonlight Give me inspiration for life Devour me like blackberry pie.

karen, many of us have probably experienced this kind of evening. I applaud your poetic and clever yearning for something to help get the mind cleared and reset. You have created images I will think about for a while...especially at night!

What a torrid romance you and poetry have! Love this line "Oh poetry come rescue me Give breath to dormant thoughts". Lovely to read your poetry this morning
