The veil of sleep covers softly Many forms must shed Before the fall I shut down my inner oven No soup for you until tomorrow I'll bake new love for you Tucking in my yawning misadventure Tails of kites and renaissance costumes Peak out from below her edges Into a ball curls my heat Rarely putting up a fight Sated still with bedtime ****** hum Reverent fingers gently close my ink well Papers scattered but the feather always meticulously replaced This facet, the crown jewel of my traits One piece remains, joy She, I let roam free, spreading I wish those I know good night A hopeful good morning for those I don't *May our paths eventually cross
