Tantalizing Love

Delude me, sweet fantasy: make him appear into my warm and scented sheets Show me his love, as he caresses my long dark hair Form a midnight fire wavering from our eyes and fingertips Tonight I shall pluck a star for you from the heavens above - Polished and twinkling on the edge of something fragile Make a wish touched by something pure and everlasting Cloaked cased in the deep amber moment Remind me I am a like that of a small bird waiting to be cradled Hold me close with your strength and hunger unknown to you Oh tell me that I make you feel right - As we waver dreamy under a canary moonlight The warmth of your breath by my shoulder, oh sight with delight Though we are but a mere speck in a cosmos of many We are wrapped alone in a vacuum of glass kept fair Now nothing else matters, nothing really could- When you are in the arms of something so powerful and so good Delude me, sweet fantasy: make him appear into my warm and scented sheets (A line taken from Andrew Crisci poem Thursday’s raindrops!)
