Bubble bath

Folder: 
book 15

stars do glitter hard and sharp

     in black of night before daylight

headlights spear straight before

     piercing not the shadows of houses passed

 

eyes are drawn to breaking light

     to windows bright shining in the night

eyes cannot see through frosted glass

     silhouettes to show a bathroom there

 

within my mind the thoughts do flow

     of what visions lie there inside

what wonders might behold my eyes

     it here I might within its hold

 

white porcelain filled with bubbles lite

     twists of steam dancing in the air

a duck the floats on rolling waves

     from wrinkled toes that wither there

 

glittering droplets of oily sheen

     as a thousand jewels there do lie

on rounded flesh of pearly white

     that slowly moves with languid ease

 

hearing song so softly sung

     words of beauty so barely heard

seeking not to disturb the slumbering ones

     sleeping so quietly within the home

 

curls of hair from moisture tight

     glittering sparkles with droplets bright

conceals not what lies beneath

     treasurers barely shown onto the sight

 

down ribbon black and dark of night

     headlights do spear into the night

thoughts of wonder are within

     as I do travel without the view
