if –
like the air –
i could –
enter – you…
(sound – understands -)
as effortlessly as –
this is,
became was…

you are –
the – exception –
the risk.
(only gamblers know the meaning of excitement)
you –
without prejudice –
rolled the dice…
(odd – in an even world )
and i –
(unsure of – )
reluctant –
held my breath…
(dandelions rely on just a breeze).

i will you –
back into my world,
(star light –
star bright –
i wish upon a …)

you are –
(star in my midnight sky -)
forever shining!
(oh how blessed to have known you!)

you speak to me –

only with your eyes –

simple glance my way,

sensational as the shiver that a whisper brings…

so gracefully,

into my thoughts,

you settle in –

wrap the everything you are

around the all of what I am;

(only skin can understand close).

and while I may be nestled in

my barricade of –

survival,

you oh so effortlessly –

(leaves understand inability)

pull apart my walls of self-defense –

deconstruct my self-destruction…

compelling –

you are –

enticing me to fly on wings of possibility –

but I sit idle –

unable to escape from my cocoon –

(what is more splendid than butterfly wings?)

and watch,

what could be,

walk emphatically away!
