I see it...

So familiar

I feel it...

So natural

Is it my mind...
or my heart...
That is playing
tricks on me?

illusion?
A dream?

If I allow my heart
to follow my mind...

I know that it will
become reality.

If I allow my mind
to follow my heart...

I will completely
lose myself in her.

Either way...
I am lost.

or...
found.

Perhaps...
I will just...
watch.

detached.

This has
become
my way.

Let the embers
remain cold.

Regardless
of how the angel
stirs the ashes.

If it burst into flame...
The heat is not for me.

Except in sweet imagination.

ah !    Yes!
It would serve me
well to remember...

How prone I am to
long, quiet, secret
moments of lunacy.

Okay,  I'm better now.

Everything is under control.
