Tonight, I lay... amazed
My heart dancing with the faeries
enraptured at your being
mindless joy
at a treasure found

Was it yesterday you befriended me?
Innocent naivete
we laughed
and played
and teased

But somewhere in our child-like games
I found the man.. where the boy once breathed
and blessed be!!!
You found the woman..
hidden in the soul of this girl
Branding me as yours..with a fiery kiss
Claiming my heart
..Unknowingly
in your boy-man way
As if opening a cereal box and finding the prize
Buried beneath sugar laden fluff

In hushed truth, we whispered our secrets and aspirations..
Unashamed
of who and what we were

Only playmates
soulmates..
Alone on this playground where hope blossoms
and smiles fall as dandelions in the wind..
A magical paradise
Once hidden within the walls of our dreams..

Sheila
