Nightreign 2

Over one hundred poems are within the pages of this book..

....

Can I catch you during your first wake

We could stay along these threads

Or you could flicker your eyes

Until you lose the fight against sleep

Losing control as is

***

And so you drift instead of wonder

I know instead of guess

The way it feels inside of you

I fantasize about this way to care

This sun against your ocean

Your wind against my chest

***

Can I catch you in between

The minute you open and close your eyes

The way he doesn't have your darkness

Assures me that he knows nothing but light

But I won't burn what can't be caught

In visible lengths of day

For every shadow contains a contract

Control the dark-less day and rain

Without the gray that usually signals

***

And so you're still instead of in motion

Your chin barely moves

The feeling against your neck tattoo

They'll spot everything that excites you

Spots across your body

Bites that break through

No one else can do it

I've already imprinted on you Sakari
