Sphinx

A sketchbook
On her pink and blue
Comforter

She draws
An image
She cannot remember

She pictures
The sound of
A voice

Low, soft, warm
Guileless, humble
Words

She, naive
Understands
Impossibilities

She picks
A needle
From her night table

And draws
With blue
Credence

She feels
You
A pain

Ingenuous
A thought
Of truthfulness

She, child
Purely
Vestal

Arms
Given
Your frog face

Betray
Obnoxiously
Her trust

Led,
Rope on hope
To nothing

She draws,
Your face
The Sphinx

You are,
The Kuk,
Unforgettable dreams

I love the imagery in this post and the play on words such that some words double as the finish to one line and the start of the next. I see this moment in my mind.
