A Dream Weaved

Your tapestry weaved with strands of light Contrasted with threads of black A marvelous mosaic of a wondrous soul I drape you over me Feel your warmth am nurtured I hear the tune of you Singing your happy songs Yet if I listen Closer just a little closer I am drenched with your tears The alternate other you I open you up Lay you on the ground Marvel at the intricacies of you All the subtleties The bold designs Shapes I could never imagine You are magnificent Breathtaking Awe inspiring Contrasts co-existing Harmony within each part I resist the urge To fold you up Place you on a shelf Keep you all to my self A treasure just for my eyes to see I look around It's not up to me You are connected to all Other tapestries and endless sea carried away by them you us and me So I marvel and just let you be Magnificent Funny Beautiful Complicated Lovely Breathtaking You Written on my birthday in 2013. My birthday is September 8th. (Just in case you want to get me a gift *lol*)

Can you tell me more about this poem? I really enjoyed readin it and would like to understand more about it and what it truly means

This one was inspired by a wild girl I once had a relationship with. She was beautiful but her spirit longed to fly beyond the time we inhabited. You can not grasp tightly to the wild ones you can but enjoy them for whatever time they choose to remain. Thanks for your interest. Let me know when you post a poem.
