Dreams In Apricot

A rosy nap in snowfields

Pink pocket watch, held upon the kindled oil of my fingers

Sing to me a willowing pixie’s fleeting opus

embosomed in a child’s dream
of cotton puddles and pillowy lanterns

Velvety crystal slumber, i swallow fruitless clouds of Neptune
Burrowing the lilac ether of snow and ice
whilst frosted peaches and rabbits doze

As strawberry wine lips whisper of pocketed oceans
Translucent numbers, painted by moonlight
I ask, “when shall the blankets of the sapphire sky,
whisper the fables of elderly trees?”
The final winter leaf sinks

Curious bunnies
Prince’s eyes of raindrop blue
Light blossoms hum the lonely harp’s heart
♪ Fairies float,
ballerinas weep by the glittering Arctic lakes ♫

And now I send my letter
to the boy with silken hair of starlight
and irises of gentle ghosts,
whilst my tears find home in porcelain seafoam

Glowing eyelashes gently sleep
on plump rosebud cheeks
