The poem that explains my heart to you

~ The poem that explains my heart to you ~

Five years ago, my path became clear:

to love you, through eternity

Even though unrequited

it’s still a love fulfilled

because I believe

it transcends time

and softly

touches

you.

You

remain

unaware

it comes from me

yet I still write these

words you may never see

so you remain bathed in love

My soul runs parallel to yours

my shadow, your breath, achingly close

chosen by love, my heart belongs to you.

Midnight Dreams

You

live in

my midnight

where stars smile

and love is timeless;

it is where we belong.

Dreams melding beneath the moon

yours and mine, we ache to touch them

fervent hearts reach out across the seas

to recapture that summer we first met.

Stars twinkle in Morse code and Fate answers

lays her onyx cape over the seas

and we dance across the water

back into each other’s arms.

Fate smiles, falling back

in step with the moon

to shelter my

midnight dreams

where you

live.

(a double Etheree)

~ Once upon a moon ~

Once upon a moon, my dreams were cast

mere whispers wafting through silken skies

entrusted to her for safekeeping

waiting on the moment you would arrive.

All that she holds, most sacred and true

dreams born of a yearning to unfold

blessed with moondust and kissed by stars

cradled in her embrace to wait out the years

Once upon a moon, you came to me

all that we had was all that we needed

and love was an earnest innocence

wrapped in crystalline dreams

In between breaths, time ebbs and flows

capturing brilliance while stealing moments

until it manages to fade away

and in its absence melancholy sings

Once upon a moon, I believed a truth

that dreams entrusted to the moon were eternal

spun in wistful drifts and carried on the wind

resolute, even though time is temperamental

That truth beckons, through valleys of change

where we lost what we had but not what we needed

celestial guidance brings me to dawn

where I am reminded that love is perpetual

Once upon a moon, my dreams were cast

on shimmering display through silken skies

entrusted to her for safekeeping

she holds them still for you.
