Wonderful Christmastime

Poems.

One: Sleeping Sailor Lost
-

I will fall through

Layers of dream

For you.

And through the crystal ponds

And seas we will sail.

-

For I will raise the sails

In my windswept search for you.

Sail to all imagined corners of my maps

And let the compass guide me.

And follow distant stars.

On the blackened dream seas

I search.

-

And all the while

Seas tumble,

They are restless

Just as I,

Looking for the long-lost one

My dreams have not forgotten.

-

And I turn on seas of dreams

As I am entangled

Entrapped

By my bedclothes.

Of the same darkened color

By night.

-

And I turn once more

To find,

You were never gone,

Nor forgotten.

Just hidden from me by dreams

And waves.

-

As

I awake

In a cold sweat.

I realize I'd never left.


Two:

The Could'veBeen's

I went a little crazy with this one, sort of E.E Cummings style?


Abyss

AbyssiAbysses)

All

Could'vebeenbut

Wasn't.

We all move

Backwards

And all that could've

(might've)

Existed

In a way)

Is

Somehow no more

Reaching a singularity

(That is something of a time frame

For when all collapses in)

And it's

Allthatever saw thelight.

Moving backwards.

Forwards.

Feet placed on a new type of

P l a n e.

Abysses

Look like signularities.

And I say I will sleep off what should've been

When the white roses did bloom

On the fences

Catty-corner to where

I might've been.

On anygivenday.

Saturday.

Wednesday.

The could'vebeen's.

Weeks of them.

I swear to you,

They line up.

In

Distinct.

And

Collapsing

Order.

Like the card houses

Built by the Abyssbuilders

And ne'erdowells.

On their table made of leaning days.

Where roses may not bloom.

I do not like the feel of falling

Through the abysses

As they look into me,

And I into them,

For I fear they see me

Truly

And I reach singularity

And I could'vebeen.

But never was.
