Poems
Apr 2016
Between Sleep
The curtains gently blow
To reveal a face behind them
Though if it is yours or not
You can not be certain
You also notice a light
Behind the obscure face
Though its souce and distance
Remain a mystery
The cutain continues its flow
Following the current of the wind
Strange notes ring softly
Somewhere beyond the window
Looking out the window once more
You see that the face is gone
And the light has changed form
Though in what way is uncertain
The notes continue playing
Beginning now to form
A simple yet harrowing melody
As the dark curtains flutter
After a moment the breeze stops
And the curtains sit still
Your attentiom drawn from them
You notice the figure in the room
In the corner of the room
Sits a black mass of shadow
Its exact shape or form
Too vauge to determine
The only thing you could notice
Was the face among the shadow
It was the same one you had seen
Outside the open window
The curtains shifted in the wind again
Revealing the outside once more
But the light was now gone
Replaced by a engulfing darkness
Down the hall
A light bulb flickered on
Dimly revealing that black mass
And the face that sat among it
And then it too went out
And after it did no light
Returned to the room
Or to your eyes ever again
And then you woke up
As the curtains gently fluttered
In the late evening breeze
