falling into winter's deep sleep

sew me

with bandages of light

with lint of yearning wings

with ointment of cloves & ginger

pour into me

threads of buttressed hope

words of charity

patches of red maple leaves

happy memories of blooming trees

i will drink the tea

of valerian roots & fall into deep sleep

with scents of rosemary leaves

& sweet wintergreen 

i dream of spring

Sleep

your words like

warm chocolate cup,

evening lullaby

~0~0~

your lips tasting of cinnamon,
turns me into a

restless tide

 

~0~0~

folding wings,

you nestle close to me -

black butterfly
