Reflections Change Upon Entry
could be you take this to your grave
and then rave to whatever is found
'round those parts
a boastful start
to kick off existence
in the great beyond
It's just love
common like white doves at a funeral
and the myth that Heaven floats
cradled above
on feathery gloved clouds
but we know it rains
don't we
we see the clouds drift
and watch them swell
and quell the thirst
of those lucky things
or drown those
unlucky sorts
that too much prosperity brings
maybe I'm the moon
in love with the shimmer
of starlight dancing
on your face
maybe it is cold
and your embrace
seems warm
and encompassing of space
do you truly hold me dear
as so it seems you do
you flow so gently 'round me
tickling
perhaps
giggling
is that what I hear
is that a sigh
really I'm a rock
in need of understanding
and you
a vast expanse
of self
that will only absorb
my dream is lovely
a love in purple
garish and whimsical
but love is blue
when true
with
or without
you
