what stars have creapt into your eyes
creating fantasy lighting
for my mind?

you disappear from my dreaming
like faeries in flutterflight
when they reach the
autumnmoon night.
and reappear so gracefully
into my reverberating pulses.

electrify my words and visions.

and i tried to let you go,
for your hold on my heart
was so powerfully precious.

and i was scared this longing
would pull me under.
when i could not breathe you in physically.
and my Soul caved in
from cravings of your skin.

wanting to create perfume
from your petals,
to soak in scents of you
when i was alone
with the ferns on the forestfloor.

but what shape can this love hold?

i feel
and feel.

a porcelain doll made of my Soul,
but i cannot touch and hold.
(and we all know how this fans the fire)...

i tried to lose you in the clouds,
pretending you were an angel
in a palace in my dreaming,
but here in reality,
i cannot pass up this connected friendship.

know that if i could,
i would partake of every inch...
every smile and sigh.
every quivering word
felt along your spine...
i would create worlds
for you to experience.
teach you these things i was taught.
a gift was placed in my hands and i can barely breathe from the beauty
of it All.

and what now from here, dear?
for when you see once again
these blueskyeyes,
will you think differently of me?

shy away?
no. please no.
be anger red?
no.
look into my eyes
and reflect my visions.
this is your creation...
(know and remember this always)

and one mistymorn,
we will picnic under a willowtree
(i've seen it in a dream)
and when our Souls collide,
i will bring lips to neckline,
and following your flushes
to cherryred sighs,
we will meet as we are once again...
