The Morning After

On the morning after 
a bath of light is vortexed in the embers of last night 
A spool unravels beneath 
his fervent gaze, she has been happily loved 

 "LOVE WEAVES A MYSTERIOUS MAGIC SPELL"

that no earthly thought can ever undo 
A thread of hope, diamond wishes, he's out of her league  
still she dreams of wedding dresses and just one word,  

" I Do"

this is when the song "Wishin & Hopin" by Dusty Springfield brings on memories of dancing with a saguaro cactus....unrequited love is the worst-case scenario....and you have executed it well....line by line we are drawn into the dawning of the reality
