Loose Daydreams Pantoum

Let them have their moment
you might say
the visions of old loves turn before you
in the bedroom of your day

you might say
on a sultry afternoon
in the bedroom of your day
in the atlas of your mind

on a sultry afternoon
memory travels its own lost roads
in the atlas of your mind
away from fading light

memory travels its own lost roads
where words are always kind and sweet
away from fading light
away from spirals of realities

where words are always kind and sweet
in a constant time
away from spirals of realities
away from deeps and highs

in a constant time
the visions of old loves turn before you
away from deeps and highs.
Let them have their moment.

  1. Procrastination glorified! (I am supposed to be cleaning my room, which really means sorting and filing my stack of bedside notes/journals/to-do lists/budlets of poems.) Okay, moment's over. : )
