In the Sun of our daydreams,
our love is just a mirage.
It flutters in and out:
there but not there.
I look beyond the horizon
with eyes filled with the shimmer
of your face, your body.
You are beyond the veil
where love enthrones you
declares you to be. I reach
for you time and again;
but you are not real,
only an illusion
of what might have been.

Yet, in the Sun of our daydreams,
love has been evaporated;
condensed into the mystical.
I wait for your shadow
to be led into the light.
My horizon filled with the image
of your arms, your smile:
there but not there,
all of my dreams of two.
Your heartbeat pulsing
in and out of your bronzed chest,
a mirage of the unexpected.

Nothing is real until you and I
slip into the light of the Sun, sharing
in the rise and fall of Love's mirage.

Oh, Ivy Rose, this is pure magic.  And that "illusion of what might have been" sometimes can hurt pretty deeply, too.

(smiles) Oh Ivy, this is beautiful, sweet friend, and the sun is a mirage that couldn't be any more real, yay! (kiss on cheek) May the halo swallow you in, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ivy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
