Dark is the Dawn

Wish upon a dream

Dark is dawn when dreaming still

of silent seducing nights; sleigh rides

that roam off to rendezvous.

Restrain your voice!

Vocalizing the very basic vernacular fours

when our forever is fading away, falling off.

Often you are awful. Only to be divine, yet

devoid of desire. Still daring to play at hearts

Yet head is hurried to stop hate…

Stop yelling!

Yelping, yakking, so unuseful

so lost in the illusion in a lingering night breakup.

Break your barriers. Let beads of wet

water-fire dwindle with cold,

night, dead…

Dead because dreaming died when love

Lost its learning to little prattles

petty words, petulance and planing;

the future

folds its frilled wings and finds a limb.

To leave lost words longing for dark

dreams to dawn dutifully again.
