Once Upon a Poem

<p>...Within you rests my flame and all that's in between</p><p>The innermost jingle I hum between my ears</p><p>The warm and gentle breeze soothing my darkest fears</p><p>And the blue skies above as a much favorable screen.</p><p>Loud in my indigence I come now bearing gifts</p><p>The kind slight and petty that troubles all our dreams</p><p>The kind that once offered comes apart at all seams</p><p>The kind pulled from all kinds of those you'd never thrift.</p><p>For I curtail my life to what you so offer.</p><p>Just as the glass reflects the tincture of its wine</p><p>Just like living branches get their sap from the vine</p><p>Just like when far from you I stifle and suffer...</p>
