Now dreams passed
Moving swiftly like
Gale force winds
Knocking down power
In darkness I
Sit finally hearing
The birds chirping
A new day
As the sky
Begins to glow
A warm blue
Oh I know
That dreams only
Ever stay asleep
And now awake
Day is true
Salvation has come
In this daybreak
Awakened and sweating
Unable to shake
The demon ravens
From my minds
Canopy they roost
Hiding in dreams
Which linger like
The bitter taste
Of some pill
I am reminded
That my dreams
Can break through
My slumber like
Thieves’s flashlights searching
For my sanity
Finding they crush
Rip and steal
Leaving me empty
Hollow and weeping
Until I turn
And remember you
My one reality
Bringing me back
To my world
Once again safe
Unable to sleep
Watching you breathe
Slowing my heart
To beat yours
Peace at last
Comes to me
My one anchor
Amidst stormy seas
Mooring me you
In safe harbor
And like dishes
And cups and
Plates we threw
What we were
At each other
Breaking and splintering
Everything to shards
Amidst the heap
We knew then
That the Humpty
Dumpty of us
Lay at feet
Months then passed
We moved on
And now like
A boomerang that
We tossed we
Return better for
The flight than
The crashing landing
Of the dishes
That we were
You live life
I live mine
Circling like magnets
Some times opposed
Other times attracted
We dance there
Never ever sure
What the other
Will certainly do
Careless and carefree
Two of us
Here in space
One of my
Favorite things is
You as child
Monkey they called
You not because
You resembled one
But because you
Scaled trees there
You’ve always been
The monkey to
My gorilla just
A couple of
Primates that people
Admire in public
