I dream alot, I do admit
Especially of you, you're it
Subject, object, noun, and verb
I close my eyes and then observe
You standing there in front of me
In essence though, not physically
But all the same, you're beautiful
That fact is indisputable

Form: Vertical Monocrostic
Mint in the eyes, metal in mood
buckled in sunshine, burning in brood
You represent all in life that is good
I long to be in your presence.
Sipping your whispers, earful and shine
standing like I still believe you are mine
Sappy and spindly in limbs while I pine
I miss your touch with a vengeance.
Wind in my mouth, catching my breath
pulling me forward until I accept
we are a mist from our birth to our death
We are the virtue in essence.
