a lover's lullaby.




Whispers
long, soft, distracting
tap along
crossword puzzles and forgiveness.

Laughter
fades, haunts, remembers
by fire
exhausted mental breakdown foes.

Kisses
smile, deep, wondering
if by light
the turmoil can forever fade.

Loving
feels warm, bottomless
like lonely
weeping willows tilting in rain.

My mind
has fallen asleep.
My mind's eye
begins to cry gazing upon

a lover's lullaby.

a flicker in these Brooklyn leaves
a light breeze of reminder
that you were here, that you are here
teases me
guides me into a dead end.

crash.

the perpetuity of love -
you know, that 'moment' -
plays on repeat on my mind's record player
same song
sung to me a cappella.

the needle skips,
the melody lingers
as a rambling memento

trapped in the verse of an old blues lyric.
