Caravan I Poem by David Lacey

Caravan I across the blue
Sail through endless skies
Embrace me in your eyes
A black knight falling
Luna calling in silhouetted dramas
Theatres of shadow play
He’s only trying for the light
He’s only trying for a day.
My skin is creeping
I fight now whispers of forgotten loss
The one moss unsleeping breathes
Life upon young life dying
New worlds for poets sighing
His voice it crawls beneath my skin
Who let him in?
When will be leave?
Who will believe me when I say?
I can not remember escaping the day
His voice it shatters my soul
Creeping still and forever unsleeping
Hold on to tiring night.
Loose me in your sight to find me
Be kind to me
I’m more than I appear to be.
