here and now:

clean yellow sheets

soft green walls

blue & white christmas lights

strung up ‘round the room

this is my here

this is my now

and i’m drifting

in and out

of sleep

low piano strains

a friend’s song

lulls me into an embrace

and to thoughts of him

he is so beautiful

he is so infuriating

my greatest inspiration

he was

my first love

quiet all around

tingles of calm

as sleep creeps closer still

i cannot shake the anticipation

of sweet dreams tonight

of sweet dreams always

with me and

my dearest friends

all together
