Poem - Stuff dreams are made on

To wake you with a gentle kiss,
Arms around you, soon dropping down in a touch like
Silk. And so it would begin.
Late to rise, too enraptured in each other's smile
To let the morning carry a meaning it does not deserve,
We would drift like sycamore pods,
Our dizzy flight into rapture
Such a wondrous dance.
Perhaps a stroll, hands clasped like children,
Hearts entwined like ancients
And laughter ringing through the trees;
A visit to the places I had been to long ago,
Stood by alone,
Wanting only you
And sighing your name
Into the breeze.
We will stumble, almost drunk in spirit
To some high place I have not yet seen
And there we will look into each others eyes
Waiting for night to come.
Such beauty in those eyes,
Such warmth and depth
I know every trick of light upon them
Every glint and flash
Every hue they take on
All written upon my soul in permanancy,
Lest I be ripped from your arms and have
But memory of your gaze upon me
To keep me warm.
And so I will be there with you
Until the stars are high above us,
Watching us in awe
And as the meteor rips through the atmosphere
And casts its trail,
The speed of light itself will slow
And our wish upon it seem endless
As we creep toward midnight
On our perfect day.

Lyrical and full of strong imagery.
