I watched you as you tangled stars in the horizon of my life

I watched you as you tangled stars in the horizon of my life, Stirring my imagination in your wake, a comet's tail gone adrift. It was the overwhelming brilliance of your charm that envelops, A sweet captivity, a game of pure magic, majestically imperative. I stood, propped up by dreams, beholding you, an ephemeral wonder, In a sleep dizzy from what you could do, what you're capable of, And how I can feel when the undulations of your sounds spring forth, Each word spoken, each lyric half-drowned in yearning, half in seraphic jest. The images you've planted within me, the ecstasy of fantasy, Weave my dreams and bring to me a fragment of Paradise in flight. You know me, you hum the song of my silent needs, In your poem, you are the verse that brings comfort to my desires. I think life sends us temptations as if in a sculpted scene, To spice up its own epic, to flavor its deliberate dishes. From the beginning until now, in constant wandering, You are one of my great temptations and likely will remain untold through the ages.
