Dreams of You

I dream of you
with eyes wide open

you now appear
before me
during the course of my day

every second woman
that passes
I mistake for you –
it seems
I gravely underestimated
your attraction

your orb tightens,
a fiery comet circling

merging is inevitable

the silence
of night
is no longer able to contain you
you have escaped my dreams
to vex my waking hours

clad in wisps
laced with glistening
stellar dust
(you are) impossible to resist

but you forget

you are entering the Sun’s orb
nothing so close is able to escape
its gravitational attraction
without being changed forever

you have entered willingly

like a moth you spin
in ever diminishing
circles;
the irresistible flame
that fascinates/captures you
is Love

gambits change
but with each ingress
the end
is inevitable

dissolution

if you would escape my embrace
do not venture
too near

if you wish to pass unscathed
distance is required

the price of intimacy
is transformation,
two entities merging
becoming
One

Love’s Embrace knows no other way
