Awake and be alert

Candlelight

Said a phantom, "Look around!"

Take apart this skull-bone walls

Take your skin off for a while

Like a child who sees the lights

of the Christmas tree at night

Fire burning with delight

In a puzzle you did right

 

Circus of smoke, oblivious hypnosis

Violet walls and flowery bedsheets

Rosemary arms try to reach my heart

Would Rosemary cry if she saw what I'd sang?

    A most cryptic poem not knowing what Rosemary sang. Most interesting
