"All that we see or seem<br /> Is but a dream within a dream." -Poe


Can I feed you poetry,

With honey?

Leave you sticky and sweet.

Dripping orange,

And thickening.

Can I lather you with words,

Using wooden spoons?

Gently on your skin,

Golden wax,

Giving you a tint.

Can I coat you in rhymes?

Until the true poem,

Is forgotten.

Syrupy,

And stuck,

Hidden who you were.
