'Loving you!' chuckled I, 'Yes loving you!'
I awoke and flung the air
Amazed that you are here
Loving you - tormentor of my dreams
'Loving you!' said I, 'thing of heartthrob'
Grazing upon you you just nod
Deep into that darkness chatting
And the ear never reminiscing
Loving you
With such a passion for dissing
I discovered the conversations
Loving you
Still is dismissing, still is dismissing
I discovered the soundings
Loving you
Take thy communication from out my heart
To warn me about the attention
Loving you
I crave the cold, compassionate christian
Take thy traffic from out my heart
Loving you
That stenographic intercommunication
- that spectrographic intercommunication
And yet not trying to be redundant
I am thankful I so choose
For I hear my ear and my heart we as will as my spirit choose
I do love you
Loving you

In transit through the time-zones, trails her colours everywhere,
Her spectrographic spectrums lance ethereal through the air,
Fragmenting rainbow spears and curves of bending light,
Arcing jet-streams counterpoint with sunspots blinding bright.
And in the dreams I have of her beneath blown skies of tangerine,
Angelic, incandescent, paints the sweetest forms I’ve ever seen.
Elated on the desert winds she flickers some prismatic ghost,
Tripping ruined beauty from each pillar to each mystic post,
Deep emerald light refracted as cracked ice in shining eyes,
A telepathic temptress breathing winter sleep and summer sighs.
And in the morning sun that kisses glacial seas of bathtub blue,
She walks the dunes of memory, on golden beaches combing through.
