if love is but a dream

 

Years ago while I was still in college, we had to rip phrases from magazines to create a poem.  It was a fun and relaxing assignment, and this was my end result.

 

 

if love is but a dream

pray let me sleep

shovel the coal of praise

and stoke the fires of greatness

it is only through what troubles a man

that we can know his heart

hacking and slashing through

the dense verbiage of prose and verse

with only the machete of our minds

my thoughts whirl

buzzing and colliding

as fireflies in a jar

my thoughts

cascade

forth

and

fall

with

the

weight

of

a

waterfall
