Nor see the way your eyes change
when you cry
My breath cannot inhale your scent
Or be swept away by the absense
of your smile
Each time you lengthen your foot in stride
My passion envelopes all sides
of your soul
Following you through lifetimes
pulled by your presence
that surrounds my heart
Even though we remain apart.
Beneath my wings I keep thee,
When I fly, your spirit is free
Even as you cannot see me
I am there.
Never doubt that should you fall
or your lips part to call
my name in whispers
I am there.
I sleep beside you in the darkness
Covering you with peaceful essence
Just a touch of wind against your skin
You feel me again.
In the coldness of the day
When your urges bid you Run!
I am the one
holding your back like pillars
of strength.
What I dream for and what is real
Caught somewhere in between
my heaven and your hell
this place that we dwell
In dreams that never seem
to merge into what the eye
can capture
Yet I hold you in the rapture
Of images that move my daydreams
flowing streams
of connection
My reflection a constant mirror.
See yourself in my expression
of what is not expectation,
but merely acceptance.
So I send to you what I hold
flat in my soft palms
The giving of this perfect calm.
