Premium Member awoken by the sun

sheer curtain welcomes the sun
room lightens up inch by inch
a gentle way to wake up
taking away the sleeper’s nightmare

Marionettes are manipulated by strings


the red curtain falls down, children laugh

Morning

Hair, color of  sun
Ruby lips whisper gently,
A ray of light, through the window curtain,
Languor, love to the brim, boundless.

We used to catch butterflies
But they died at night
Because when we went to bed
We kept them inside curtain!

No purpose in silence,
with these breaths becoming
iron, my sharpest edges
unfurl the curtain, shredding
the flesh of solitude,
with violence.

Booth (Final Curtain)

Booth. How you hated the Union.
The end of suffrage you so despised.
One in the brain of the great orator.
Death in the theatre.
Sic Semper Tyrannis.
