falling sky
Can dreams be stale? If they are, is their worth diminished?
Vile sparks rile,
Stilted tricks out for a while,
Rummaged for dishes,
Polished yet finicky,
It let in a spiel,
Fragile in shadows,
Alight in meadows,
Drunk in the loyal stage,
Winding horses past their age,
Leathery sky falls in parched fortnights,
Rubbery air falls twice a day,
Yet the dream is cold,
He dares to call it stale,
Yet it feeds the feet,
Frail steps leap over days,
Edited for crispy narrative,
Now a flowing beard,
Stronger bones,
Now velvety sky falls,
Every minute,
Dishes fly past in belts,
Fresh dreams haunt every night,
Yet the eye trickles for the stale,
As it attempts a smile.
About the Creator

Like a house, I go layers deep. Can promise the skill, and if its a gift, its been sharpened for close to a decade now. I have to become the samurai of ink, and that's only through careful, deliberate spilling of ink.
