First Line: A fitting benediction of words
Last Line: Opened its eyes and perished.
Subject(s): Dreams; Talk; Nightmares


A fitting benediction of words
Stood, one by one, upon
The warped threshold of your mouth.,

Dreams are wandering realities
Stooping to pick stray roadside flowers
And making silent boutonnieres
Silent drops of mockery.
And since the flowers quickly die,
Dreams must ever walk with closed eyes.

Hearing you, the dream I held
Opened its eyes and perished.
