Gaze savoring
the narrative of a fantasy novel,
you smokily
drifted up from the pages.
And if I close my eyes,
picture your haze-form,
poetry writes itself
in my head.
Much better than anything
I could ever conjure
with my own hands.
You're that cloud
hovering ahead,
shaped like a half-dream -
temptingly attainable
but just out of tangible reach
like tomorrow's plans.
How I lust to discover
and disseminate
your heart-clutters
across the beach
like rain in the sand,
where later,
I can shape you,
make you fully concrete.
But sometimes clarity arrives,
naturally,
in mists of ambiguity
where it'd be best
to ingest
than extract.
Maybe it's better
you stay inexact.
