With secret signs and wished-for misty memories

our clandestine affair is stretched like wire

like spider web lit silver through the black trees

it traps me and injects me with its fire.

No drug could ever hold me in its power

yet here I kneel a servant to your beauty

I climb the tresses to Nirvana's tower

entrusted with a lover's sacred duty.

With kisses from some Once Upon a Story

caresses that a ransom couldn't capture

you cry my name in agony and glory

and we evolve as wispy wraiths of rapture.

But all my quests reside inside my dreaming

I've never felt your breath upon my shoulder

and watched your eyes grow large with passion's beaming

or tasted lips aglow in fiery smolder.

I call upon the fates: reward obsessions

to aching hearts who wish for sweet endeavor

if dreams are all we have to call possessions

then let us sleep in harmony forever.
