A Friend In My Thoughts As a Lover
Where hast thou gone off to
What starlit sky hast thine saddened eyes gazed upon
From whence might I be able to witness
Thy form twist around in wisps of stardust
And from thither create within mine own mind
An image of thee whom I shall fail to live without
And yet I wonder if too slow mine thoughts were to reach thee
If within thine self exists the courage at all
Ready to accept whatever consequence arises from the flames of passion
Fear that it may incinerate that which ere blossomed
From whence came the friendship that I dost hold dearest
I could bear not a universe without thy laugh or smile
For to lose thee is to lose myself
However to thou came nothing whom chose to lay down
Thus it would seem not preferable either
To let go, thereby invalidating the many nights
Spent thinking…envisioning our intertwined flesh dancing in moonlight
Dreaming of a way to take thy hand in mine
To rediscover the feeling of safety and peace
A rift formed betwixt that which is necessary and that which must be true by meaning
Tis with sorrowful satisfaction to realize that
Thy present dwelling in darkness obscure I can follow not
If it were so, a thanks to thee for breaking my heart
Thou art the center of my conviction and the deepest of my desires
I would put death onto myself as life a hundred times over
Merely to find us tonight in endless embrace
And to never be parted in bliss or woe
