Poems from Midnight Spiral
I know
That he was
Frightened for me;
Why else would
He tell me
To run,
When it took me
away from him?
Trixi was her name,
and she was the queen.
We all knew it;
But the queen grew old
And passed away.
The little princess was lonely
And tried...
He isn't on the leash
And there is
A bird
Within reach.
He gives chase,
Ignoring his own pursuers,
Until the bird
Takes flight.
By then, he...
He growls,
And I wonder:
What happened to him
When he was just a pup
To make him think
That he has to be mean.
Standing
Alone in the gloaming,
Reaching for
The warmth he left
Behind.
I awaken,
And remember
That he is only with me
In my dreams.
