Just For You Poetry

On sleep dreamer’s edge
flashes of prismatic light
flicker on whitewash spume
to dreamer’s watercolour fall
as angel fish dart and zigzag
to a quicksilver migraine.

Headache flickers shimmers
as sea star’s tiny tubular feet
rip from bed’s deep comfort
and are caught in coral’s pink
spectrum from hibiscus
to blushed rest of sunset.

Only buoyant sky knows sun
was asleep rolling on horizon’s
goldthread as a mending needle
pricked sun, spilling red splashes
falling to tangerine hands
to help embrace the sundown.

Dreamer’s toes slither into
a floating yellow-green gown
curling into a warm pool’s lap
as kaleidoscope’s watercolours
float in dreamer’s timeless night
to lullaby a time strangled day.
