Foreshadowing

The cups of coffee, and the dim lamp on my side
Up in the attic like a writer
In disguise
I am singing and dancing and loving in my mind
Glued to the chair, you’re so far behind

Oh the place’s we’ll go
If we only tried
Inertia, we say as if we were tied
Strings strings, were ever so light
-yarn wraps to iron blankets to hold me down at night

In dreams I swim and run and soar
Awake to remember the burdens I bore
Eyeballs  spinning under their covers
My mouth whispering her
Unrequited lovers

Tell me your stories 
Let me feast in your eyes
Unfold, unravel  masterful devise 
This pattern we’re weaving, so bold and bright
It dares not to follow, it dares only fight

Will you come when she calls you? When she is no longer asleep
When hearts made unbroken, when lands before leap
Ah but then you know , then you must see, indeed.

Of her ill-spoken words, such trickery in the velvet letters
That drip out and ball like mercury medals
