Waiting for the NIghtmarish Lover

By Nimue44

Eyelashes flutter
The sleepyland of heartbeat
Door secretly creaks

Moonspell between clocks
Sapphire silken sheets waken
Fingertips- cheekbone

Dark is of no one
but the spaces between stars
Please, just you, just once

Haunter, close your eyes
Us, symphony of the night
Oh! It's you at last

In process of reading Natsume Soseki's haikus... quite inspiring.
