S l o w l y ,
yet oozing danger,
a spider trail-blazes
the path to her
silver
mansion
The one I,
yawning and
weary-eyed,
visit on
sleepless
nights
I shout—
but there is no point
in getting bewildered—
I’m just
tripping
/ I n t h i s
i m a g i n a r y

s l e e p l e s s
m i n d /
Slowly,
but
fearlessly
I approach
the light with
cautious
steps
I can’t sleep,
I shout—
yet my loving cuddle
keeps escaping
her kiss
of death
/ I d r e a m o f
a l i f e o f w o n d e r

Truth is
spiders
were never my
chosen companions
in day-dreaming
adventures
Still,
she seems
quirky
enough
to become
my nocturne
muse
As I,
yawning, and
weary-eyed,
follow the path
into her

Oh thank you, Vintage Black, what a lovely thing to say! I equally always enjoy your sparse clean style, the way you arrange your words, and your accompanying images 🙂
Great feedback again, Sunra, thank sooo much :)) ! ah hahahha nice!!!!!!!! they are beautifully dark and mysterious creatures (slightly conniving-looking too with all those webs), aren’t they? 😊 looking forward to reading some more of your clever and creatively crafted poems (haven’t been too active on WP lately, but time to get back to it soon). Have a great weekend!! Anna
