Etched in the illusion of time

Oh, pensive dreamer!
I see you in the wake of my mourning
Pen in hand
You are the muse to the weary
Lonely times are the fruit of this passion
The trail of stardust you leave is eminent
Thoughts dipped in honeyed smoothness
Ah, caress me, gentle one
Hands of silk cannot hinder motion
Lest I glide along the breeze

Oh, twilit dreamer!
Stars be our hymn of longing
Watch me, adorned in astral stillness
Poised
Penumbral lullabies woven midst my hair
I reach for you
Why, why, why must you fall away?
Lost to the darkness of midnight's breath
A painted glory
Yet you cannot see the azure sorrow that stains my face

Oh, seductive dreamer!
Holding me fast, to the edge of illusion
Shall I give in?
My heart bleeding for that touch
Ghostly and pure
One whole existence shattered,
Breaking,
Gone.
I am left with the scars of your affection

(Whisper now...
teardrops fall....
one...
by...
one.)

can't you hear them?

landing...on the rain-soaked ground. (covered)

Evening pours out its soul to me
Alive in vibrant music
All a memory
All a world
So very far from here

And so I murmur
Speaking nothing but butterflies' fears

"Look at you, my love. Thou art splendidly beautiful in the sun's sweet light. Come nearer, be my own."

(but you strayed. and the sunrise cried for mercy. [shallow]
'tis sadly the destiny of a lover's need.)

Oh, pensive dreamer. (Heaven waits.)
Oh, twilit dreamer. (Nighttime sears.)
Oh, seductive dreamer. (My cravings die.)

So all the skies can hear me whisper
"Oh my keeper, my only dream..."

My mind is just reeling from this one!
I tried to pick a favorite line or stanza while I was reading it, but I love them all.
This just might be the best poem I have read on this site.
Beautiful!

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

Thanks, guys. I'm glad you approve.
