Insomnia If I Have To
The bows of your mouth with its quiver full of Snow White broad heads haunt me.
How ever did you manage to walk into my dreams so casually?
If God did not grant you permission nor do I.
Soft lips on soft cheeks, draw back to mark the spot.
A recurve with two pot holes on each side filled with honey.
Im satisfied that my own curves remember how to draw.
Inspiration?
Some nights I wake up with Arrows pointing straight across like spin the bottle at 16.
Does it matter that I may have urged the bottle with my hand if it was motivated by my heart?
I think it does...
Please, don't walk into my slumber anymore.
I quit using my bow years ago, theres work to be done and I'm no longer a child.
Respect my journey is all I ask.
For my heart is as soft as the memory when you take it upon yourself to visit my dreams.
Give me nightmares, I must stay grounded.

Thank you Nizana ever so kindly.
My dreams are more active than my waking life at times yes. 😂
But there are certain dreams I could go without.
Some dreams are better off tucked in a corner of a heart and left alone.
I hope all is well, I've been reading your writings recently, I enjoy reading them. My heart goes out to you. I pray life stays beautiful for you always. Thank you for taking time to read and comment.
