Let me slumber

Can I read your mind?

Can I taste your lips?

 

No

 

Can you let me have this watch?

Can you let me listen to it's tick?

 

No

 

Can I pet this red fox?

Can I shake his hand and let him inside the warm cabin?

 

No

 

Will you watch me slumber with a wolf, let my essence take your hand

and brush it against my warm cheek

You lament cause I'm sleeping with tI'me in hand.

 

Let the wolf wake up ,let it stare into your eyes

let my protector  stare into your eyes.

 

Leave the fox to his trotting through autumn leaves

red, orange, and yellow, allow the door to be open

in case he gets cold.

 

The tick, the silent tick that I wanted to listen to

rests ever so sweetly in the middle of my palm

 

The watch that makes you nervous

the tI'me in my hand

the tI'me I've been asleep.

 

You watch, you lean, you kiss.

Your kiss so light so loving, so sweet and soft

a heavenly kiss that blissfully wakes me.

 

I open my eyes as soon as I hear your thoughts

your beautiful mind, talking to me,

pleading me to wake, so I did.

 

"Please don't be afraid my darling, its only a watch, it was only for a minute

it was only my stuff anI'mal ,

it was only the shadow outside

I'm here now."

 

You smile bright with quivering hands

But you must know it was my dream.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

This piece has such a childlike innocence to it but with a mature appeal... kind of like a fairytale for adults... I really enjoyed this one.

The form and flow of this was equisite. I think the sense of it will be interpreted different by whomever reads it. Be it a Wolf, Fox or some other creature of the wilds. I really enjoyed the anologies with the clock. Their timing within the piece were wonderful.

Yeah let me sleep. I don't get much sleep these days so I can relate well. For a few months I've been a little insomnia. Nice job on this it's an amazing write!
