once a daydream collected <br />on my soul and I kissed <br />its breath so much it blew <br />gently away <br />it had pleasure from <br />my attention and called <br />on other daydreams <br />to join in the web of <br />salted yawning I <br />promised to provide <br /> <br />once a winter storm <br />crashed into my roof <br />and I applauded it so strongly <br />it continued to devastate <br />the house <br />engulfing every shadow <br />that crept quietly <br />behind the walls <br /> <br />once a voice trampled <br />on my daydreams <br />I asked it to go away <br />and not be around me <br />anymore <br /> <br />why are you still here <br />with me <br />can't you see that I am lonely?<br /><br />Chris G.
