Still dreaming


of the reality




that I couldn't have you
life sure seems a carnival;
                                     only masqueraders everywhere.
i am completely destroyed
by your love
that brings me to my knees
crying from the shock
of brilliant light bleaching my vision
with the means
at any expense
my world would be yours

and it is

do you know the way you move me
like a steady wind rippling a sail
like shallow waves
how every time your around
my face softens
and my lungs breath easy
in
and out the sweetest scents
and my heart is cupped by your hands
and held before me
its wires and chords running
swiftly to all my body

do you realize what goes on behind my eyes
or how consistently stumble over myself as you watch
have you realized that i would that you had
the superior quality
the very best
and i will make it so
Navel serves any purpose?
she finds my obsession curious;
fifteen versions of her enamoring umbilicus,
in my canvas, give answers.
I saw you
with someone last night
but it's alright.

Selfless spring
Would've ripened
His freedom...

Alas,

Lady Winter oppresses.
If an easy rain
would make the rocks slippery,
he would hold my hand.
