the black sky is lit
eyes filled with darkness
suns from other worlds
sending you to me
the moon is a cold fire
the blue on everything
carries your picture
intact, into my body
i could photograph you
with sensors and pixels
fresh glistening skin
perfectly captured forever
but i’d rather trust my eyes
heavy with experience
capable of grasping waves
from ages past
your beauty is true in the old light
March 8, 2020she calls me dream boy…
do i only come ’round when she’s tired?
show up for the fun
then steal her desire?
does she think i’m too good to be true?
make her smile and laugh
then i’m gone, just a fluke?
do i make her feel like she’s falling?
get her heart beating fast
and then leave while she’s calling?
do i help her believe she can fly?
take her up to the clouds
but just watch from on high?
she calls me dream boy
but it’s not what it seems
i’m her man, not a toy
let me tell you what it means
i come around when she’s tired
but i’m here for forever
not too good to be true
just her man and her lover
and she just might be falling
but not from the sky
and i do help her soar
’cause together we fly
so i am from her dream
she made me love free
she called to me across time
and she willed me to be
but i’m also for real
don’t you think that i’m playing
she calls me dream boy
i am here and i’m staying
the stretching light through gentle fabric
long across pillows, sheets, blankets
slowly reaching the end of its unwind
can i take you there?
dreams and moods hung on walls
laying stones for paths of possibility
dispersing the fog of the future
can i take you there?
inhale desire, lifting heat
hair raised reaching for connection
breathe passion, offering hope
skin opening to receive skin
light and dreams float above us
protected from the world
rest for today, love for tomorrow
can i take you there?
sleep tight my angel from the future
come to hold me in your wings
rest well my mermaid from the deep
new legs traded to tangle my strings
safely sleep my siren from the past
old songs dusted to mend my heart
dream in peace my one true love
holding steady in the space between breath
i’ll add a log to the fire
you’ll spread out a blanket
we’ll lie together across the years
and keep learning each other
you’ll sip your wine
i’ll drink you in
in another life we’ve been sprawled
for decades in front of fires
i’ll close my eyes
you’ll trace my skin
see me with the tips of your fingers
walk back the ages to youthful love
you’ll take my hand
i’ll touch your lips
one kiss before this fire transports us
to a new life, without complications
to space that is ours
one kiss while the wood is crackling
to morning routines and time to be
to a slower pace than the world around us
one kiss as the snow eases down
through a past with no regrets
and full of joy for our discovery
a beautiful bend in our old roads
a chance to begin with real love
one kiss
on one blanket
between two souls
turns two lives
into one
i imagine we’ll be slow lovers
slow and deep lovers
play for keep lovers
you and me
i know we’ll be sweet lovers
sweet and hot lovers
never stop lovers
you and me
i hope we’ll be free lovers
free but true lovers
always new lovers
you and me
maybe we’ll be strong lovers
strong and fair lovers
tangled hair lovers
you and me
