Frankie Quinn with a poem from his book Open Gates.




Sleep

Come sleep, draw darkness on
My light, bring sleep charms
♞♜♝
And heavy arms to lean along
My side.
♞♜♝
Whisper Morpheus’ secrets
And brush gently on lace-curtained lashes
♞♜♝
Carry memories of feelings felt and
Dark days seen.
♞♜♝
Come sleep, come sleep, come sleep
In the deep, soft folds of me, sleep.
