in you . . .

in you . . .

the vision of love has captured me

the imaginings are overwhelming

i think of such things as our embrace

and it’s tenderness

i close my eyes

to see the twinkling of wonder in yours

as you look upon my face

and the ecstatic joy of our mutual presence

in this place

where naught else matters

but the gift we give to each other

being here

all the things of life

the worries

the cares

the fears

and doubts

have melted away

dissipated

like cotton candy

on a hot July day

and all i can say

is thank you

for the love of you

i have awakened to

in this consciousness

realized

behind these closed eyes

a consciousness replete

imbued with colors of magic

the magic of cosmic butterflies

dancing in the fragrance of the garden

of this lovely dream

where all fruits are sweet

and each bite is sweeter than the last

where all song

is etherically hosted

by the communion of our hearts

yes, these closed eyes

are the keepers of this dream

that my inner child treasures

a pleasure unrequited

immeasurable

in the world of men’s understandings

and demandings

in their journey of the outside

where we all hide

from our truths

yes, behind these closed eyes

i am free to surmise

the path i have remembered

the path i travel

where all delusion unravels

to reveal

what i will to be real

my vision

the vision of love

that has captured me

in you . . .
