A Thousand Nursery Rhymes

Curled your breaths 
Touch clouds in dreams 
A nightmare’s death 
Stitching the seams

The night laid to rest 
On a bed of split stone 
As a dream it is dressed 
A thread softly sewn 

A hand wiping worries 
Off a mother’s forehead 
As another hand hurries 
To leave her for dead...

Your fingers trace lines 
On a red silken sweater 
A thousand nursery rhymes 
Like a thousand love letters 

Your tears shards of glass 
Falling from a broken mirror 
Slicing mother as they pass 
The words you can’t seem to hear

Canopy of Dreams

A lurking shadow lies 
Darkened eyes gleam 
In the dust, it spies
Under
The canopy of dreams 

Sharpening teeth 
As if they were blades 
An emptied sheath 
A lovely serenade 
Forming schemes 
Under
The canopy of dreams 

The pursuit of a touch 
To make skin icy cold 
With a frenzied clutch 
You can be controlled 
If it rips the seams 
Under 
The canopy of dreams
