Stilldreams



There have been



In periods of disquiet



The seepage of poison



From an unransomed touch







A cause for restlessness,



This sweet venomous kiss of fate.









It numbs the nerves of conscious thought,



Until all that remains is the sublimely familiar.







What starts with a memory



Sees its end in mist, as I drink you in silence



Marked by sunsets and moonbreeze



Spilled into the heart.







Through lips, behind eyelids,



Name upon skin,



The ethereal distance melts



Within tremulous heartbeats.







In this garden of stilldreams



I have long surrendered to repose.







Eternity dies with the birth of dawn



And rises each time a reverie is formed.







Muse of my dreamverse



You will always be near like a whisper



Ever held in each sigh.
