Poem - The Nightingale

you do not understand
so i do not understand
there is nothing to understand

*

hep!

these words the mysterious call
of a surreal nightingale

wanting to come in
during the long dark night
when i am half asleep

in fear at those times i choose
not to be unconscious or oblivious

it comes unbidden time and time again
because you have shown me

seeing is lovely
how some deal made
to allow you or i to go

where few are allowed to transgress
certainty dies propellers ejected

steering on and on

------

for Latif
