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

Desperately romantic. I feel the angst!
