It Was Time...(Ii)

It was time.... 

The clock stopped ticking... 

Hummed in bliss, a few dwarfs 

And sprites.... somewhere.... 

Droopy leaves glistening in late-night dew 

He slipped into the blanket of ink-blue sky 

Comfortably snugged 

In the pillow of pink clouds 

I conjoured upon him 

With a gentle kiss, wrapping him 

In dreams woven by my lullaby 

And I whispered.... 

" Sweet Night! My White Goblin" 

  

The stars that spectacled 

Marvelled subconsciously 

At the thing called 'Love' 

And burnt and vanished 

In their own envy... 

  

He leaves last 

For he knows how hard it is 

To let him go 

And ere my eyes could open 

He kissed 'em gently 

And whispered 

"Goodbye! My Sweet Champagne" 

And I knew then that 

It was time.......
