The breath of my lamp still flickers, oft dancing on the walls
of my eyes...capturing the delusory bloom of the shivering rose upon
pursed  lips...an ocular softness  which comes within a starlit  night’s
dream...

An aspiration, casually awaiting the clinging flood of a river’s song
before capturing a lyre’s mesmerizing flirt. For aged grasping whispers
still breath life into tingling fingertips as silent ears tranquilize the lyre...
and a giggle fondly chases the wary fox’s tail into the waiting briar
before slumber stumbles and falls onto the cool dry kip and lapsing
dream,yet dreamed, awaits the bloom of a saucy shivering rose.
