[ChristopherSea]

I Fell in Love with Sylvia Plath


Once asleep each night, the universe halts.
Upon waking, the world evolves once more.
Whilst dreaming, I fashioned you to a fault.

You disappear with the early sun’s vault.
Darkness vaporizes as light restores.
Once asleep each night, the universe halts.

I was seduced by the words most exalt.
In bed, we would hide from the day’s rancor.
Whilst dreaming, I fashioned you to a fault.

You would rather run, but I chose to waltz.
You sought a Savior, while I, the Mentor.
Once asleep each night, the universe halts.

You conjured monsters, brought on the assault-
let the fungus flourish, ignored all implore.
Whilst dreaming, I fashioned you to a fault.

You lie in heaven - I bathe in sea salt,
pondering wasted poetic rapport.
Once asleep each night, the universe halts.
Whilst dreaming, I fashioned you to a fault
