| The nerves tense and then: You have gone to sleep. Something not anchored in loves drifts out of reach. You have gone sleep, or feign sleep, It does not matter which. Into the voice leaks bitterness. The throat dries up, the tongue Swells with complaints. Once sleep was simply sleep. The future stretched no further than The pillow upon which your head was resting. There were no awkward questions in the world, No doubts caused love to fade To a numbed kiss or howl, Or caused trust to vanish. You have gone to sleep. A moment ago I found Your mouth on mine was counterfeit. Your sleep is full of exhaustions, I cannot calm you, There is no potion to wake you,. Do what I will, say what I will, It is a sleep from which I am exiled. You have gone to sleep. A planet drifts out of reach. If I spoke all night it would be no use, You would not wake, And silence, like words, you would no doubt Mistake for ignorance. So sleep. Across our window's small patch of Heaven The stars like sheep are herded, And like a satellite objective time Circles calendars and mocks The wounds we think are huge. Sleep. Don't be so tense. There is a no longer a need of barriers, No need of dumb defence. You are understood. This night is the last on which there will be Any kind of pretence. Tomorrow something else might wake What's gone to sleep. Brian PattenYou have gone to sleep |

And always there will be the dream of travelling,
of boarding the boats sailing from trivia,
And always there will be the regret,
the sense of carnivals finished.

The thing about cosplay is to be proudly saying : 'I made this costume.' But the best is : 'I don't look good in this costume, I make the costume look good on me.'
