Rest My Darling Poem by Joseph Narusiewicz

Time is such a small thimble
I always thought I wanted more
Now I wonder?
Eternity is a membrane away

Your flesh is hungry like a whelp
Wit feeds your perspicacious thighs
You always were hidden sorrow
You need chocolate ego

We trace our sheets like divorce
Lovers sometimes fear being friends
Wind and rain on your lips
The burning bush lights the world

Obsequious wine no longer works
I see you want time more than love
Museums have lethargic ghosts
The west wall by the large window

Graceful painting not yet finished
Purple and lime mountains
Dolls with crying eyes
Dreams we don't remember

The lions circle the equator
Rainbows like lemon drops
Elegant doors that lovers close
Rest my darling time won't wake you
