"Elegy for The Girl In Dreams"
I saw you in a dream again, flowers in your hair
Supreme splendiferous sublime sanctity of purpose
Lounging in the evermore
Fairies played with the ends of your golden hair
Elves giggled at your feet
Your breath inflated the hillocks of your breast
As you sighed and gave me the secret to the universe
You turned and I gazed at perfection in the
curve of your back
You winked and I experienced Heaven's Smile
The subtle brush of the fabric of raiments across your leg
Gave me God's Goosebumps
We smiled together
In the Summer of our Youth
Your thoughts were mine,
Beauty, soft, pure, truth
I made a movement to turn to you,
But the night passed quicker than I could imagine,
And you faded from view with the morning sun
Leaving the fairies to flutter unawares
And the elves to gather their belongings and go
