Gwenevere



Let me in


I whisper to your old feverish memories in this semi-darkness


Between these two great voids


Separating me and you and so many others


By ethereal panes of shattered glass filled with tangible strands of much-loved recollections


So I can once again cross the deep oceans of Hippocampus


Flying for days and nights under its episodic sunshine and rocky shores


So I can warm you with my old love


For I will never stop and as you listen to this wherever you are


My hearts whispered secretive spells will forever yell


To reach that forbidden place to the living


That stays hidden as it holds you in its tight grip of a new seclusion


I can only pray my words are carried to lay before your new eyes


By this grey smoke gushing from my incense candle in these rushing four winds


Which will find a way to bind you to me again


So we can continue what we once found in this lifetime


A beautiful treasure called a meeting of similar minds
