Rock-a-bye, the sky
spills the song for you.
Ears are cribs, and I
swaddle warmth in blue.
Catch it and imbue,
learn to love anew.
When pasque flowers sigh
dreams drink lullaby.

Whispers, time persists,
leaves a paper path.
Iconostasis –
stars from skies to earth.
Meant to love by birth,
we deserve the mirth –
Angels’ trumpet’s missed,
wait, you – on the list.

Heart is bold and gold,
Heart is not as glass.
Waves of breath unfold
seas of singing bless.
Inflammation’s pass –
words are free at last.
All the petals rolled.
Where are you? I’m cold.

All the words are doused
as a sea in shells.
Lips land on your mouth
where rainbows dwell
and a kiss shall melt
like pure souls in bells.
You are mine as clouds.
Seas with ease are roused.

Rest your head, be calm
in my palms. I’ll sway.
Winds of trouble, storms
I will keep away.
In my heart you stay.
In my heart you stay.
In my heart you stay.
In
my heart
you stay.
