tonight I brushed up against a petal from heaven
and in my very own car
can you actually imagine my thrill?
but how very ironic you must say
where I in turn only think how very bizarre
for months he's been standing proudly in my thoughts
carrying them to an indeed idealistic plane
running parallel to reality to find myself in close
proximity with his gentled humanness
my senses are now no longer lost in the perpetual
flame
I can't stop wondering though does he suspect me
of my so far well guarded secret wish
to simply be his, under whatever circumstances and
whatever he wants me to be
to make his love and or life just a little more than
easy
to help clear is cloudy mind
chase away demons when he needs to unwind
can he not feel my enraptured eyes as they hug his
wordless outline when he walks slowly past
I know if I were a better woman I'd stop all this
fantasy non sense in its muddy tracks
but I can't
for it would be like trying to disconnect the lungs
once one began to pant
Impossible!
like this situation
its the biggest yet likely the best thing
I've ever had to try and fight
he effects all my muddled senses
especially my imperfect sight
why, his very essence permeates my deepest hopes
like rolling smoke through out an airless night
it chokes off all fringes to even the simplest of
reasoning and makes the phrase,
' the pain of unrequited love'
seem silly, yet almost trite...........
