Honeyed Dreams

Why is it
when I dream of
you
I only dream,
in sweet
and blue?

Why is it
that every song I write
is sung to you,
in the cool
of night?

Underneath
your window high
looking up
into
your eyes.

Bending down
on beaten
knee
in the waves,
inside
your sea.

I came
into this world,
with only half
a heart.

A two part puzzle
with one
missing piece.

Ive tried conjoining
other pieces
to mine,
but you’re,
the only one
that will
couple
into my entirety.

Interlacing our rhythms
seamlessly
into one throb,
into a single
pulse
that paces
the tired arms,
of time.

It’s never easy
when the star
that lights
your sky
beats,
within
a universe of touch
and purity.

And just like the sun,
when I turn my back to you
and flee
I am once again
following
a mere eclipse
of myself,
chasing
the sooty silhouette
of my portrait
outrunning me
toward a finish line
of staring blindness
begging me
to turn around,
imploring me
to cut off my feet,
commanding me
to stop bleeding
tears
of fear
and turnabout,
toward the glow
of unknown
possibility
and perfumed,
perchance.

It doesn’t matter
how many boards
I nail
to the ceiling of wind
still,
I can feel
the sweet color
and music
of the sky
as it leaks through
the splits
and onto
the rose blood
swollenness
of my lost dreamed,
perception.

Maybe,
the love
that lasts
the longest
is the love,
that can
never be?

I will never
ever
truly,
be born.

They say
nothing ever
becomes real
until,
it is experienced.

So I,
will never
exist.

I,
will never
come,
to be.

I never have.

I died,
the day
I met you.

These have all
been
mere thoughts,
from
your depths.

That have
risen
to the
surface
dissipating
into
the air
carried off
by the breeze,
tasted
by your
skin
and swallowed,
by your eyes
into the
other half,
of my
heart.

My name,
is poverty.

Devoid,
of all
richness.

Beggar
of barren,
feaster
of famine,
a naked
sailor,
of hardship.

Only you
can
blow,
the first breath
into me.

With those
lips
that melt
my demise
away.

You,
were always
going to be
the only thing
actual,
of mine
the only thing
certain
in an ocean
of obscurity
I can’t swim
out of,
the only thing
truthful,
in a river
of ruthlessness
I can’t bridge,
the one thing
sincere
in the tears
of overcast
billows,
of meaning.

I don’t know
what I would do,
without the thought
of you
and your smile
pressed,
onto mine.

Sweet, sweet dreams
of you
forever,
in my embrace.

God help me,
somehow
help me,
how I love them
so.

This is an extraordinary piece of work.
Nice, really nice.

Richy....do you have any idea how you inspire me, you move me,
you make me cry....you make me sigh, you take my breath away.

And always, you leave behind a gentle wind in your wake.... on my sea....of dreams.

I really love the way this ends... passionate with a touch of innocence... just beautiful!

It is an overwhelmingly romantic experience to sip at your "honeyed dreams", dear Richy.

Dreams of love enchant
longing hearts match perfectly
shunning duality

Very beautiful!

Ohh Lori, do you, have any idea how much you do all of those things to me, and soo much more?

Please don't cry though my Bluebird, every tear you do, only widens the seas between friends.

Thank you dear one, I'm just glad you liked it.
