Perchance

Perchance

Two o’clock

I should be sleeping

Too often I awake

Pain drives, so does

Want and dream

And vision

I write I dream I

Play inside my heart

I hope for what is

Better than I have,

More than I

Deserve

It’s how I dream,

I think

Wish and in a

Kindly boxed-in

Way

(That often I

Don’t understand)

Forget what

Drove me from my

Calling

I prefer Christopher in conversation. In writing, I use C L Couch because it’s a genderless form of my name and, frankly, easier—I have severe writer’s cramp. I mean to be a poet writing spiritual and occasional verse. The photographs used permanently here—for the banner, for my profile—were taken by Debra Danielson, a photographer and friend. You may enjoy more of her work at debra.danielson.org. If you would credit me when quoting my work, I'd be thankful. As I am thankful for your presence here.
