Adventures in NaPoWriMo 18/30

So this particular piece is a cleave poem (that's right - i'm messing around with forms). The idea - it's three poems in one: the left column is a poem, the right column is a poem, and then if you read the whole thing left to right like normal, it's another poem. I don't know that this particular cleave poem is any good, but it was....pretty friggin' difficult to put together.


i dreamt of you

last night
under the stars

holding the moon between your fingers
the night a velvet blanket

you said
between the two of us

nothing is impossible
i said

i swear
i wish

i believed you
that we were awake

eyes open
without pretense

hand over heart
i promised

giving in to that illusion
to love you this much

then
in the morning

it was over
