Suddenly Swans
My fried anxieties and crisped lonely would unite in my sleep's repeat
nightmares where a roster of random monsters pursued their viewed, vile
end of me. My pulsing terrors urged I fast run but my feet always turned
to absurd concrete, freezing me caught as monsters qued for fleshy-chews.
Then came you with blue eyes sparkling love-shades. In time, you subdued
my frantic bits and wooed me spooned in shared sleep. There, my dreams
altered to tame, chiffon waters where I sat, posed, upon a beautiful
swan who gracefully glided me happily beside wondrous, sister swans.
Suddenly, you, yes, you suddenly turned my monsters to swans who
fulfill me in dreamy captures as we sleep clasped in love as depth-cast.
Nightly, swans sail me thru morns detailed in dawn’s hue by love's truth.
Regal swans grace my dream-phased sleep because you love-chased me.
