I cupped my hands
To drink from my River of Dreams
The water was sweet,
It stained my tongue
And cleansed my tear-stained cheeks
My dreams took flight
At the first swallow -
That is when I first saw you.
Unsure and hesitant, I was -
Until I tasted your kiss
The River I drank from so long ago
So here I sit,
Intoxicated
For you are my sweetest dreams,
Come true.

We could lie here all night,
Forever
Breathing each other's breath,
Twisted together so that we two
Become one tangled body
With synchronized heartbeats
Like raindrops on a window,
Running alone until joining together
If we had our way,
We would lie here all night,
Forever
My fingers moving gently over your skin,
Writing messages known only to me
In large swoops
Hoping, in my secret way,
That through my abstract lettering
You know exactly how I feel
Learning to speak without words
Lying here all night,
Forever.

The force of my sigh
Makes hundreds of tiny white fairies leave their home,
Carrying whispers spoken above them
They soar in the air,
Taken by wind gusts
Acting as messengers
As I indulge in a healing breath.
I imagine the paths they will take,
Some will falter and create new homes among the grass,
And others will
Continue on, by some miracle
To harbor my secret wish
And land in your midst,
Where they will whisper my words in your ear
Before their wings fail and drop them -
These dandelion fairies
Bearing my love.

Allow me to serenade you with my lyrics,
Sing you softly to sleep in mysterious expression
Do not fight your slumber - smile for me as you
Succumb to your dreams, whispering a melody
Slowly, slowly
Save your worries, just listen to the sound of my words,
While I enjoy the sweet sound of your sigh
As your senses give way to sleep.

I am losing myself
Little by little
With each passing day.
I sit in the corner
Grasping to everything I hold dear
But however valiantly I fight,
I slip through my own fingers
So I am left with only my body,
Which I never liked in the first place,
And the corner where I remain
To hide from the life
I have lost sight of.
