Within

•

In dewy mornings like this,

A sip of tea between my moist lips

A little sleep in my eyes

Lingering dreams of the past night

Rumpled sheets on an unkempt bed

Night lamp glowing a pale red

I feel the dawn of a realisation;

•

Not every moment is to be shared

Not every word written, read

Some secrets are best kept private

Some thoughts are best kept within

Safe in the cavity of my chest

Some feelings that gnaw at my skin

Some dreams I keep playing

In my head;

•

Love that roars like ocean waves

Sun that burns a white light

An eagle an owl perched on my shoulders

A million burning blue stars in purple nights.

Faces of loved ones in jumbled orders

Kisses on my lips from lips of strangers.

•

Oh, what a way to live

In the universe of my thoughts and my subconscious.
