Bad dreams
Shadow Mar 2020
moon beams, count sheep
dark themes, mind sweeps
bad dreams, no sleep
sheet, weep, grave, retreat
sheet, weep, grave, retreat

supreme - big leap
esteem - trash heap
bad dreams, no sleep
sheet, weep, grave, retreat
sheet, weep, grave, retreat

hills seem too steep
fast streams, cold, deep
bad dreams, no sleep
sheet, weep, grave, retreat
sheet, weep, grave, retreat

teeth gleam, eyes peep
loud screams, blood seeps
bad dreams, no sleep
sheet, weep, grave, retreat
sheet, weep, grave, retreat

sweat sheens, skin creeps
mind deems, thrills cheap
just dreams, go sleep
sheet, weep, grave, retreat
sheet, weep, grave, retreat

moon beams, count sheep
dark themes, mind reaps
bad dreams, you’ll keep
sheet, weep, grave, retreat
sheet, weep, grave, retreat
sheet, weep, grave, retreat
sheet
weep
grave
REPEAT.

White Sheet
Robin May 2013
A white sheet lay before me
I trace the creases where it was once folded
and finger the edges of it
I feel the soft fabric and
I fold it up nicely and put it away
waiting to take it out again

A white sheet lay before me
A small tear has happend
I feel the hole with my finger
and gently rip it
the stings attached fray in different directions and
I fold it up and put it away
waiting to take it out again

A white sheet lay before me
The sheet is covered in rips and holes now
I run my hands over the large rips where the folds would be
the strings get caught on my hand and
I wrap it up and put it away
waiting to take it out again

A once white sheet lay before me
The rips and holes match the large stains
the once white sheet is now nothing but stained strings
and lost hopes
I rip it up and throw it away
waiting for something new
