Poem 1- Falling Asleep
Under the covers, shifting left to right
Cannot seem to close my eyes
Thoughts invade, good and bad
Imagination runs wild
Running becomes tired
Eyes become heavy
Hard to hold on, to keep imagining
Shut
Lost to the dream world
Poem 2- The Dance Room
Laughter filled the room
And the ecstasy of it
Feet turning rapidly
Hands waving viciously
Pink tutus and black leotards creating a blur
Black and white keys echoing, creating a rhythm
The scent of lilacs in the window
Now, a pitch- black room
Dust, instead, dancing through the air
Wilted stems
Remains a distant memory of what it once was
