Inside the shadow's shadow

0 posted 2003-03-05 12:19 PM


Is it something, nothing, or everything about you
That draws my tongue to yours?
Is it that dream I keep having of you
The one where the winter wind is whipping around me
And then I see your face and you make me warm again?
Is it the purple skies that outline your blond,flowing hair
That makes you glisten?
Is it that waking kiss in the morning
That sets off my whole day thinking about you?
Are you some sort of sweet fruit
And that is why I crave for your taste?
Just what is it about you
That made me comfortable
Straight from the first moment you opened your cherry-lipped mouth?
Is it the scent you leave upon me
That finds its way to my nose
Whenever I'm thinking about you?
What is it?
Is it everything, something, or nothing
That draws my soul to yours?

I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.

Thanks KoKo.. I had been attempting to understand a situation I am in, and I believe you have just given me the counsel I sought... Very good work.
