to a place set apart from time
I willingly drifted back to you
and your seemingly tireless tyrant ways
the dream continues on
in my heart's achingly silent hope
and in the bewitching mercury of your all
encompassing eyes
my very own captor
guarder of my well being
protector for my fragile sanity
your passion never dies
but lives on
in me
locked in my not so rusty memories
lost to no other's conviction
separation is our mutual burden
for which there seems no immediate relief
other than our being together once again
unwavering belief
speaks ever more fondly now
to us................................
