Perched one on each post,

their shifting shadows,

creeping ever closer,

along the plucked camberwick bedspread.

Four Carrion eyes –

catching my breath,

the silence before the scream,

breaks the precocious dream.

Temporary Twins

 

 

 

 

 

 

What if…

I’m living the wrong life,

I’m not her,

and she’s not me.

I wanted a change,

to be free of the dreams,

I asked her to go,

but now it seems,

it was I that left,

and she’s left behind,

the dreams didn’t stop,

they’re here in her mind.

I made a mistake,

and I want her back,

without me here,

there’s a definite lack,

life is different,

in every way,

I silently wish,

she’d come and stay.
