AWAKE ... ASLEEP  

   I dream
            on the edge of the mists of awakening
                                                                 I stir
                                                                  mired so deeply in the breath of my sleep
                                                           I struggle
                                               resisting the call to arise and begin anew
                                   I burrow
                          deeper into the safety of nights tranquil cloaks
                  I find
        peace once disturbed now gone without trace
                                                                  I wake
                                                                          to find night long since given way to dawns break
                                                                   I rise
                                                                           facing the stark unblurred reality of my day
                                                                    I dream

FILLING THE ROOM TONIGHT


between fingers pressed
against the clear pane of glass
moonlight trickles in

BUTTERFLY KISS

silently kissing
the skin of my shoulder, throat
butterflies awake
