one day i will wake up and see my dreams scattered in a field of yellow
butterflies and velvet buttercups my fingers
entangled in a thicket of your dandelion stalks dancing gracefully in
the wind carelessly kissing your forehead and i will
retract them and trace my index finger down to your eyelashes and wipe
away the dewdrop delicately poised upon the end of a long curved strand
attempting to touch your skin before i can i will
bring my face closer to yours so close i will feel it
live through you and i will gently blow away the
golden specks of sun glittering upon your face then
ever so slightly the tips of my fingers will graze upon you detailing
all your contours and i will butterfly-kiss
you and smile because you are mine
and i will not share you
i will rest my head upon your chest and listen to the metronome of your
heart in sync with the gentle rhythm of your
breathing and when the stray breeze creates ripples
in your white muslin shirt i will hear the sea birds singing upon a
clear horizon the only audience to the music you
orchestrate a sublime legato stringing together beats
and notes into a soaring symphony and i will hum
until i resonate with your body and your world and
when i see you stir i will hold my lips against your ear and
whisper pour myself in a single
stream crying screaming laughing
because you are mine and i will not share you
i will soak you in your flavour of
old crisp yellow pages and wet ink and fire and musk and wood and dust
and graphite and longings and passions and when you
open your eyes i will raise my head and look at you shift just slightly
so as to accomodate my body against yours marvelling
at how beautifully we fit and i will see your dreams
flitting by on little white wings and i will reach
out and grab a few so i will always have a reason to
dance you and me at the edge of the
world except when you snap your fingers and the world
vanishes magic only you and
me and your hands touching me so I know my body is
real for the first time feel it and
love it and know in finality i am
born and breathe because you are
mine and i don't have to share you
