A Sleepless Dream

Darkness all around us 
We walk 
Between the crevices of light 
Your eyes are filled

With lucid hazels 
Your words seep through your skin, 
Delicate and feathery, 
The night’s wind

Crisp and calming 
It lulls me with each laden step. 
I’m within a shallow pocket 
Cushioned by the conversation 

Out of my cautious body, buzzing, breaking, 
I can’t believe 
The soothing song 
Light and sweet on my tongue

Are the words that fall out 
Sliding down 
The smooth crescent moon 
Swaying pendulously above.

Forever it hangs 
We circle 
Until the strides become painful, 
The rain will fall all night long
