wishin' and wonderin'...

wish night could be
more time left
just for me
but time is measured

in loveless theft

wish i could remember words
letters of thought just before sleep
but they fly away on the wings of birds
leavin’ me empty and nothing to keep

seems as if

those are always the ones
thoughts most wanted

thoughts most wise
words most prized

when day is done
for those i search

but i cannot rise
sad there's no notepad

for my mind
sneak back onto land

and into dreams
where all is known

and many kinds
all held safe

in golden moonbeams

readin’ my words

of wants last written
wishin’ i knew with what

i am smitten
 

 dangerous readin'

of dangerous thoughts
wishin’ i knew if all for naught
thoughts showin’ me as i wanna be
wishin’ i knew what really is key
danger in placin’ too much weight
wonderin’ if it’s only his foolish bait
such words such thoughts such dreams
wonderin’ if anyone hears my screams
