MORN 

 

 

 

The black sheet 

of darkness 

undraped itself

 

 

To expose 

the baby blue 

quilted

 

 

paleness

of

 

MORN 

 

 

 

 

Him

 


 

 

He is on every breath 

I take

                  each heartbeat I drum 

 

He encompasses my 

thoughts, emotions 

my actions 

 

He delivers me from 

sadness with his smile 

 

I remember, I see

the brilliant light 

behind those eyes 

 

He embodies 

everything I requested 

in a man 

 

 

He faulted 

as I knew he would 

 

 

Meaning

 

 

 

Someone 

has unleashed 

the flood gates 

 

 

Syllables 

words & symmetry 

 

 

Playing word games 

in her mind 

 

 

Steadily swimming 

to the surface 

 

 Managing 

not to drown

 

 

Words 

torpedo 

towards her 

 

 

Emotions 

heated sensors

 

 

Seeking 

a new target

 

 

One fear 

remains

 

 

The 

barracuda's 

bite 

 

of 

 

bewilderment
