PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I count your lies like sheep 
Each one over my head 
Until my mind becomes numb  
And I drift off to dreams 
You play tricks on me there 
You tell me you care 

Smiling, I hold your head to my chest 
Your hair tickling my neck 
A twinkle in your eye as you look up 
Shows you're smiling too 
Inexplicable comfort I feel 
Strong, yet so soft 

So many times I'd save you  
From lava and from quake 
From war and from drake 
Fighting for you, til the sun bleeds anew 
Its light of reality seeping through eyes shut tight 
But never tight enough 

So, moonlit dream takes flight 
Chasing cruel night, with no trail to follow 
Left behind to tend to your flocks 
I know them all, but I'll count just once more 
Now I don my cloak of forgetful shadows 
Until the darkness again consumes them
