Then hear me
Whatever comes, weather or change
Think me unusual, brazen or strange
This is good

My dreams take life
Such blind unhampered frolic soul deep
Stripping out the futile, all the else to keep
Love is stronger

The complex core of bliss
Limp and willow holds the candle to the flame
Think me mellow, flexible is just the same
The door is open

So hold me
Whatever fear is the illusion of tomorrow
Here and now a step beyond the threshold there to borrow
Thrive the wishes of the heart deprived of sorrow
And smile lingers

Captured and conveyed on silken fingers
Running laugh lines up the spines of thrilling
Think the best and keep the future willing
This is now

Your whole poem read so naturally, but I really, really enjoyed the sounds and rhythm of the Here and now line.  Beautifully composed.
