-J.L.S.
Colors spin
In your head,
My dear, and
I can see them
As vividly
As you.
When one comes
Out from such
A long slumber,
It’s sometimes
Hard to describe,
But each new
Word can surely
Do it justice.
3/10/14
I heard the
Calls and pangs
For which the
Void would
Have nowhere
To place
Anything new.
Things often
Unexplained
Will move to
See us through.
3/10/14
Sounds like a
Transition, so many
Which I have
Dreamed not to
Slip through my
Fingers once
Again…
3/10/14
Rattle a part
Of my brain, which
Needs to be
Shaken loose.
And all which
Belongs to this
Night shall
Also belong
To you—
Feelings to
Carry us all
To a different
Time and meaning.
3/10/14
I think I’ve
Had about
All I can drink.
Such lively
Conversation was
Always meant
To get me
Enjoying the preview?
