Love Mist

Let me waft in on the breeze through your window

A refreshing mist of cool

There are places like this on the trail that I walk

Suddenly sweet and damp as the dew

Let me blow in and settle there over you

And look at your sleeping face

Oceans of love have distilled within me

And gathered here, now in this place

I see you there dreaming, your eyelids moving

REM sleep fully engaged

Let me add essence and reality to your dream

Feel me settling in on your page

Write me into your history’s future

Now ink me into your early morn

Picture me hovering, brooding over your deepness

Adding energy for your victory horn

Capture my cloudiness if you can

Grasp my elusive sensual moment

Feel me all over you like a clammy shirt

Soaked by the salt seas foment

Then burst into freedom

And rise right thru me

Strong as the rising sun

Knowing that something is there in your midst

And she is never quite done
