Spider Lady

She is like the spider
weaving delicate lace
drawing me to her
magnets of air and light
flowing like time
from your web...

I run to her
pools of silver shimmer
jumping from leaf to leaf
the path trodden
across soft ground 
between the lines
"I'm in love with her"
I say...

Bounding black hair
as the little stream fades
leading me to your parlor
into the east forever
held in the suns balance
I write these words of amor
"I love You!"
