Apology letter

Don't know what made me

Have that cup of tea tonight. 

And now I am restless. 

And the mood is not right.

You must be wondering,

What's up with the sappy sighs

But it's only for tonight,

I can have you by my side.

I know it's very late and

you would rather say goodbye.

But I don't want to see you go,

and let you off my sight.

I can feel your struggle

to be with me tonight. 

But somehow, 

For today,

I cannot apologize. 

Just stay with me tonight

Tomorrow, 

at first light,

I will let you go.

I will apologize. 

Same Old Dreams

Walls have been painted afresh

A mild yellow

Creaming the white

The bed is polished to a shine

Ornate edges 

Gleaming bright

Pillows are fluffed and puffed

White cottoned

Laced at the trims

Curtains sway by the window

Dancing shadows

While the evening dims

She lays, arm draped on her eyes

Breathing softly.

Asleep, it seems....

On a brand new bed, 

The eyes hide

the same old dreams

the same old dreams....

Will the spirit rise?

Will the wing grow back? 

Broken, crushed

The keening sobs

Painfully hushed

Will the spirit ever rise?

Overpowered. 

Fragrant dreams,

Forever soured

She could be a butterfly

Her wings torn

Struggling to fly

Spirit gone

She chooses to be a dragon

Terrifying alone

Her blood of fire

A heart of stone
