When Conversations Retired

My eyes began to hide as we retired conversation.

My eyes began to hide as the night grew tired

And we’d lie next to eachother like two lines on the road

And I didn’t want to open my eyes for fear that you had snuck from the covers

And then suddenly you were singing like the call of a nightingale.

My eyes and mind were deluded into believing the occurance of the following events.

 

We sat together like two birds on a branch.

My breathing was heavy like the tree being supported by the ground.

We sat together as the wind carried loose limbs and leaves to the next town.

The storm was coming but I wanted to stay a little longer.

The storm was coming we must set flight!

But I did not want to separate for fear you’d be gone forever.

But I did not want to be blown and beaten for the Maine ***** grabs.

The storm was coming, so I left my ambitions to be carried with the limbs and leaves

And I left my nightingale alone in the night, to fight with the Nimbus as the storm carried on.

My eyes began to uncover from blankets, I felt your existence inches away.

My eyes were mislead and I rolled right on over and went back to bed.
