...In a dream I am wrapped around you - but, still, I stare up in confusion -caught in webs of discomposure - tangled intricacy.
Yet even in dreams I know that you're my love.
This is simple.
My heart melts again & again in your arms.
Without caution, yellow words escape from my heart out of my mouth and I'm afraid...
"Are we able to do the things this love requires - willing?"
"Have we lost sight of this - lost?"
"Could we believe, once more, in the love that belonged to only us?"
SILENCE... and I melt again - differently this time - like wax - burning - falling farther from the flame. For an instant, as I stand at the exit stairwell, I look back at you. Your light is consuming as always & your soul exudes a familiar warmth....comfortable.. beautiful.. home.. and the thought of your absence leaves me petrified - paralyzed. I love you. I love you, deeply.
As I look into your sullen eyes so as to say goodbye somehow the sorrow that has surrounded us finds the strength to surface & sting. My eyes fill with tears of naivety - tears pour with prayers for powers to clean hearts...clean hearts. Tears fall with prayers for powers to mean forever, break the make- believe - make right. Tears pray for powers but I'm drenched in reality.
"Let my love melt the hard spots of your heart. Quietly believe. Love me today - tomorrow - never leave..."
"Stay with me - Dream with me."
My eyes open - I'm awake & you are all about me. I seem to breathe you, hear you, feel you in me & around me.
And though your body is absent - it could not make my love more real.
-a.a.b.
*i wish i knew how to undo the knot that's tied inside..
The knot i tied in you .*
