Crystal shimmers, barely there ripples
The deepness of dark welcomes silvery moonlight
Cliche?
This is my fantasy, and there’s no breeze
Water, still as stone
Leaves, lightly breathing
The ground dry, still warm from the sun
You lay with me
I wait for your voice to relax as I run my fingers through grass
My mind isn’t as interesting as yours
And despite it being my fantasy, reality remains
I can’t articulate myself as well as you
I’m afraid of opening completely
Though your candidness intrigues me
It’s all simplicity and complexity

Your breath stinks
You drop hair on my sheets

You roll in mud
It’s never enough

Your claws are strong
You bruise my skin

But

Your love is deep
Your heart is free

When we’re together
You only see me

Your eyes are intense
Your cuddles are true

I could’ve called you Shadow
But my Ted will do

Your soul aluminates your being
Your skin radiates with love
And although you aren’t  filled right up
You spill generosity on all you touch
Never has one face forever been enough
And a body, though just a shell, for you I ache with lust
With lips I long to kiss, hands entwined
But the hold is in your eyes
Home, with you I find

Eternal tug of war will come what may
Non-religious, I pray, for the comfort of day
Then hope for night to take the pain away
Fear holds me paralysed
Stuck in the mud of yesterday, today
Weight of the worlds contradictions fall
What if it’s my own heart I betray?
