In sleep

In the aisle of my dreams
I walk down the aisle of my dreams Intoxicated with pure thoughts As the beautiful entryway light paves my way To be joined in emotional bliss With a man whose sweet and soft smile Struggles to keep afloat in the ocean of desire And one look at his cheerful bright eyes Makes my entire existenceContinue reading “In the aisle of my dreams”
A poem of envy
In my fortress of love I walked around with my favorite flower A yellow hyacinth The perfect flower for my masked emotions Emotions i was yet to reveal Up until she walked into my fortress With her beautiful smile and her beautiful life And my fortress took me on a quest to unmask My maskedContinue reading “A poem of envy”
