SLEEPS ALONE

She sleeps alone tonight.

And dreams of ribbons in the sky

She dreams two candles
with dancing flames
She dreams two candles
reaching towards each other

She dreams of burning for each other

She sleeps alone tonight
until she wakes
and finds
two candles
now just melted wax
blended together
a heart of two flames
two flames of a heart
one heart of burning love

blended together
currents of water
the tumbling of rain
rivulets
coursing down her face
and tracing
this burning scar

She sleeps alone tonight…
