Mirage, Star, Dream

Longing flickers like a spell
loose in the dark...
a small, bright predator
pursuing the shape of you.

You appear where reality thins,
a shimmer of mist,
a spirit wearing light.
Desire opens its hidden door
and the door becomes sky.

I reach,
and my reach turns luminous,
a quiet magic
that conjures your presence
from memory,
from myth,
from the soft ache
that knows your potency.

Here, 
in the enchantment between worlds,
you rise...
a mirage,
a star, 
a dream
I can almost touch.
