Sunsets and Forgets
The sun falls on
Our potted toes
It dazzles us
As measures go,
And we get swept
Into the fold...
Wide sunken eyes
Turn into gold.
Were you the one
I saw last night?...
My star and sun?...
My candlelight?...
...You looked so
Different
Under light,
As now the
Nighttime
Shadows crawl...
A mad chimera
Plagued my dreams
With lion's mane,
And eyes so mean...
...It's rattle tail
Was vexed, and
Peeved,
But there were
Similarities
To my own walk,
And my own ways...
...In disbelief
I booked, insane
From the tall
Mirror
That brought down
The hammer on
My golden crown.
