Behind Closed Eyes
Write about what happens when you close your eyes- in short blinks of time, the long lull of sleep, or any other interpretation that you choose. Poetry, prose, long-form, or short-form - be creative!
sleeping with strangers
behind closed eyes
someone new awaits me
a face i forget when i arise
if i sleep now i may remember
that someone a mix of strangers I used to recall
their name, puts a memory in my mind
their eyes, my heart's downfall
I know our time is nearly up
I'll awake alone in bed
but just a few minutes more
as we lay together newlyweds
