Folding Pillowcases

Straight and soft and thin and white,
The sugar frosting by your head at night.

Billowing sails which tumble in creases,
Falling upon themselves, arms meeting.
Feathered backs breaking; you see limp spines
Double up with amusement, into crisp white lines.

And the flat horizon over which you peer
Is but a guise; a sly veneer
To cover up those soft cloud dreams
Which bend and tremble at the seams.

For when you lay a head upon thy breast,
You gain forever that eternal rest.
But when you lay it upon a mortal beating heart,
It heralds by far a brand new start.
Go on fold that lonely pillow case,
And go hold that hand in the mortal race.
Together step out with a life brand new part,
With the Eternal Flame burning within your heart.

Very sweet. They’re… symbolic of dreams, I guess? You’re rhyming is superb, as per usual. I especially like ’sly veneer’; two wonderful words.
