lullaby

i eat my sleep
my dream
my hope 
my love
my faith
my memories

i chew them in my leisure
and let them grow on my bones and skin
heart, lungs, eyes, face, hair, kidneys, nails
and i grow tall, tall, talll
till i reach the moon

and then i eat the moon
and the stars
and get drunk on the clouds
and fly through them too,
till i reach the rainbow

the rainbow - 
its violet is just like the colour of my dream, when i dream of you  - my hyacinth dream
its indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red - the colours of your laughter
the black is missing - the colour of your eyes

i close my eyes and think of you
you, and your black eyes
i can almost touch you then
feel the dreams on your skin, eyes
i touch you gently
so that you do not wake up
    - i know, you are dreaming a lullaby
i hum it, silently..bit by bit
as i fall asleep too .
