Where Are You?

 

Where Are You?

~♥~

Where are you love, O cherished one
who comes a friend, remains enmeshed
are you a figment?
or do you breathe,
a vulnerable soul in warm, solid flesh?

♥

You are still deep inside, you know
where you can’t elude an unconscious flow
you mean too much
to forget and forego
far within where flaming hot embers glow.

♥

Should you doze amid passionate lullabies,
dream on, sweet one, resist Cupid’s sigh
Your never-ending
romantic yearnings
electrify visions of promising heavenly skies.

♥

Your closeness is visible and touchingly open
liquid, deepening, fresh and ever-changing.
With cellophane walls
framing sweet sacred halls
shimmering as severed dreams begin singing.

♥

Hidden under sparkling image-rich sleep
touching your temple, removing its tension
transforming a sparkle
brushing it into your eye
awake, my sleepyhead, ending misapprehension.

~♥~
