sleep so sweet

[hoops]

The night cloud
where you lay
removes it's shroud
and runs away
so the white light
of the day
dresses you bright
as you sleep silent
clothing you in the shine
of a wedding day
softly, i listen
as you whisper
to breathe
watching your tender
closed eyes tight
letting go of a sigh
sweet with delight
yet quiet like a memory
of lying in the sun
in the grass
looking through the sky
like glass
to the heavens
above the blue
me and you
stretched out
in the meadow
we dare not touch
yet with the electricity
our hearts and souls
join in sacred dance
watching you
from where i lay
sleeping softly now
covered bright
in the sweet dew
of the morning light
that holds of the day
for a while
and says goodbye
to the night

Haiku for Hoops

You've done it again!
I just tingle with delight!
Empathize sweetly.

Through the cigarettes

I used to be someone
A long time ago
Maybe I just fooled myself
For all I really know

“No thank you”
she said to me
before she drove away
and held a lit cigarette
clenched between her lips
when earlier that day
she made life
with just her finger tips.

Once I was a lover
But there’s no one
Left to love
They gave mine
Back to me
Saying
“You, I no longer love”

I have nothing
To teach you
I have nothing
To give
I have nothing
To take
I have nothing
To live
It was all yesterday
And someone else
For all I know

Leave me out
With the trash
And the burnt out
Cigarettes
And the dust
That collects there
From the wind
From God knows where
I cry out
In confusion
Because when
This is read
You’ll remember that
I embarrassed you
While living
And I disappoint you
When I’m dead.
