Melt Into the Night, I Tell You MAG
June 6, 2011
Melt into the Night,
I tell you.
Let the stars
be your bubble bursts;
the cricket's buzz
be your whistle fizz;
the Moon Man's midnight passion
be your source of heat.
Melt into the Night,
I tell you.
Let the morning glory's velvet petals
close around your soul.
Welcome the sleepy moths
to nestle good-night into your hair.
Dissolve your flesh into the ground,
for once it came from there.
Melt into the Night,
I tell you.
Fly away amongst the silver-mist clouds;
Sip seething soothing
camomile tea with the Queen,
whatever your dreams allow.
Make sure you congeal in the morning, though.
'Tis the one thing you must do.
But until then
you are free,
my dear.
Melt into the Night,
I tell you.

Wait...so are you dawnof17??? Well whoever you are, yessss!!! Go for it! Who cares about whether others like what you write or not or even if you yourself like it. Someone is bound to see greatness, if not, potential in what you do. Everyone grows and shrinks sometimes when it comes to whatever they are passionate about, but in the end, its the passion and the bravery to share that passion with the world that makes you grow bigger than any flower in the garden ;)

I'm all over wild. I take poetry stuff on email, and have never seen anything that floats or flies like yours. I'm just beside myself. I have poems, but haven't posted many.

I'm completely, head-over-heals --JEALOUS. This poem is too awesome. I just have to memorize it and whisper it everywhere I go.
