Lullaby

Are voices in white noises    
Much louder than my heart?    
Dark mirrors shade your secrets    
Of which I have no part.    
   
Oh gentle stranger, fear me not.    
My static sparks won’t harm you.    
This storm cloud breaks into soft rain  
In blink of tearful eye.    
   
Green dragonfly wings humming    
Stir shivers in blue seas.    
I feel those waves embrace me.    
Yet I’m not what you see.    
   
Oh gentle stranger, fear me not.    
My wringing hands won’t fight you.    
They pray instead for ways to praise    
And draw your comfort sigh.    
   
Marked butterfly crawls, short life,    
On pulse-flick of your wrist.    
Do you feel how she trembles?    
Does she know whom she’s kissed?    
   
Oh gentle stranger, fear me not.    
I wish but to deliver    
A lullaby as you close eyes    
In this unknown love’s quiver.
