To Never Close My Eyes Again

To never close my eyes again


Whispers call out
  silent forests
   of slumbering trees
wave weary branches 
  on the wind

Voiceless in the vast darkness,
    still shadows dwell
midst motionless thoughts
  gathering in a 
      blurred clearing

Where I seek you,
     not in part, pieces
  not in dreams
but complete before 
      my longing view

So that my visions
 enchant beyond any imagination,
   fading the whispers,
enacting this affection
   held forever

To never close my eyes again



Good night Soupers
