I write my poems in ungodly hours,
when Midnight spreads her raven's wings.
I seek my love at the edge of a dream,
and watch her bathe in the tides of Lethe.
I look at her face in the Poppy flower juice,
and volcanic glass, in her long lashed gaze.I walk in the orchard when stars are pale,
and the anaemic moon sheds her veil.
Spectre -white crowns of midnight Poppies,
sway to the lullaby of a hypnotic breeze.
I breathe in the scent of Lethe's rare biss,
Out I blow, my sighs through a pipe.I await my dame by the banks of Lethe,
like a shadow, I follow, dimmed by her light.
A darkling smile, when an Ash stake rips,
through her hollow heart, her timeless charm.
Like a Poppy flower, the wooden stake reddens,
Pulling me back, from Lethe's embrace.I write my poems, drowning in Lethe,
to remember the way to forget her eyes.Amanda Lopez 🥀-
