7 Seas & Midnight Dreams

To: Dés

Through seven seas and midnight dreams,

my lover lies awake.

Though tossing and turning,

mouth open,

eyes burning-

the refusal kept at stake.

Sleep my love,

rest your soul,

for tomorrow is bigger and brighter.

But stillness is null,

and restlessness peaks,

all within minutes and hours.

-M.R.
