In White She Sleeps



Poems & Love Poetry

Tracy Marie Mason, Canada

In White She Sleeps (for Westly)
White
In innocence
Pale silken skin
Upon the pillowcase
Through
White
Shutters
Halo of moonlight
White
Incandescent
In
Dreams
White pegasus
Lifts her up
In iridescent
Sleep speeds
White
Within
Luminous clouds
White thunder
Cracks through
The black of night
Yet without stir,
White gold
Her fingertips,
White canvas the
Soul
Unawake she
Paints diamond dust
Within
White
Dazzles me
Within
White purity,
White star
White windowpane
Darker me,
In
White worry
Be
She is
White innocence,
Wrought within me.
