Poems by Rose

Slumber

Slumber, my eternal solace,
From pains of life, I run to you;
Cover my eyes with limitless possibility
And shroud me in your cloak of authority.

With your presence so powerful,
I beg you to numb my tortured heart
And summon images of heightened euphoria
From past experiences I cherish dearly.

As you warn me of dangers to come,
Avenge my unjust treatment
With deeply rooted torments in minds
Of those who dared to wrong me.

When the Angel finally makes his presence known,
Aid him please with your gentle hands,
So that he can make a painless delivery
Of my battered heart quickly.
