SLEEP
by Nancy
thoughts
discordant
loud
a mind
uneasy
fractious
Sleep
surrenders
exiled
to chamber shadows
grumpy
watchful
blue eyes
silvered in candlelight
stare into darkness
imagine a balcony
imagine
Her
restless
He
turns
tortured
woulds
and coulds
and shoulds
if onlys
and
why nots
a stirring of determination
planning
revising
perfecting the words
Sleep
patient
ready
disappointed
again
a great sigh
twisted bedding
thrown off
He
rises
dresses
Sleep
follows
despairing
up 18 stories
arrived
She
steps into his arms
thoughts
prepared
practiced
offered
Love’s proposal
sweetly
joyfully
accepted
Sleep
finds a corner
it will be awhile
for you, H
