Sleep is a quiet butterfly flying away

Silently

Sometimes poetry becomes an obsession
keeping someone awake
Dear Mr. Wizard of forevermore,

Remember the cold, cold winter not so long ago,
when I traveled on a great journey all alone?

An unfortunate and unforgettable journey it was,
A journey into the deep unknown

A journey finding me traveling, traveling so far,
To speak with those gatekeepers of the dark star


My words!  My words! Oh my words, Wizard!!!
My words wouldn't come!!!

Alas, my words locked themselves away
Somewhere in the castles hightower
So the castle guards say

So I journeyed on for miles and miles,
traveling alone, and to this day

I wish I'd never gone!
Oh Poseidon! Poseidon!
my LOVE
King of the mermaids
And keeper
of the seas

Believe this for every wave
that dances
upon this shore
Never in a thousand years
Could i  love
anyone else more

There's a constellation
of stars exploding
never-ending,
constantly
Inside my head

A starburst of thoughts
and dreams of you
Dancing me into the sunset
And across the ocean blue
xoxo
