A Bedtime Story

Follow me.
I will build you an edifice,
With a private attic.
There are people
Who call themselves romantics.
Do you know?
No?
Maybe someday I will explain.
They adore all remote compartments,
With the exit to freedom.
Same.
Static.
Too static…

Wait!
I will build you a fort with tunnels,
With a secret, the deepest passage.
Do you know how to be adventurous?
Good!
But not too much.
Maybe later I will explain.
If I only could find the right wording
For the concepts to form my message.
Words vary, but the concepts are
The same…

So tonight, I will build you nothing.
Neither fort nor the edifice.
Fly!
I will follow and fuel the engine
Of artifice.
Don’t you worry,
I also know nothing.
Truly,
◻️I’m simply lying,
◻️◻️I’m only lulling
◻️◻️◻️Myself…
