sleepless eyes
leak with light
from an OLED 
screen
taping letters
like notes
of a song
that permeates 
his dreams

i wake 
and think of you
i sleep
and dream of you
every moment
is an opportunity 
to show you
how much 
i love
and adore 
you 

it wasn’t 
curiosity that
killed the cat
overconfidence
pushed him off
the ledge 

if the sea could
eat the sky
would it douse 
fire from the sun
or would it
singe and curl
its salty tongue

if the trees could
pull their roots 
shake their leaves free
and shed their bark
then what good 
would man be

your eyes 
move art
shaking creativity
from barren walls
each peace 
repositioned 
moves me
from immersed
to enthralled
