Whispers of Starfyre

dawn comes tangled within
the crisp bite of an unmerciful autumn
sending an unsettling chill
into the depths of my waking bones
last night’s dream lingers demanding
on my ruffled pillowcase
and all I want to do is move as far away from
the remaining whispers of starfyre that I can
but daylight will never be a far enough escape
from the truths that are ever present

so I lose myself in the memory of the dream
where the intrigue of your soul
leads me across vast sandy shores
along winding roads that seem to never end
through mountains thick with pines
and valleys freckled in cottonwood trees
ever eluding my sanity’s need
to find peace within the restless crave
that lives constant inside my heart

I can see you there, everywhere
a silhouette standing unknown beneath
the soft glow of a knowing moon
a touch that stirs tender upon
each breeze that silently blows
a whimper echoing passionate
upon the tempest of each storm that brews
calling for me like a siren lost at sea
and I heed the call time and time again
only to be left alone in the dark uncertainty
of a trail long gone cold
never allowed to get close enough to you
to finally be set free
…inescapably
help captive by your mystery
