Poetic Dose: Pinto Series

(Art:  Haplos by Mark Justiniani)

Dream Walker

She came to him in dreams 

Always only in dreams;

Of black and white 

That melted into grey;

Then, of deep purple black

Riddled with pinpricks of light;

Of stretches of verdant fields

Flanked by Ents that swayed and danced;

And of gold, bright and then mellow

Resting against blues and salmon hues;

She came to him in dreams

Always only in dreams;

Until her palettes emptied like a raging river

Into a vast and colorless ocean;

And then, once more, 

She came to him in a dream;

To retrieve a drop of amber

Remnant of her heart and soul;

And he 

He remained slumbering ...

As in all the times she came.
