To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.<br /> ——Oscar Wilde


The tossing night, a dream's pure charm

Stars awake, piercing the dark's alarm

Yet fog veils my eyes, a shroud's form

Midnight's moonlight, a translucent calm.

 

The fall from dreams feels like misty woods, I deem

Obscured and hazy, I behold my own dream

Suspended mid-air, a terrifying scheme

Below, an abyss, an endless stream.

 

Uncontrolled descent, a body's flight

To dream's chilling gap, devoid of light

Like rains sculpting wrinkles, taking flight

In Alice's wonderland, this curious plight.

 

Chasing the rabbit, heed its hurried beat

Floating in time, an unending fleet

Time stretches forth, a corridor replete

Departure looms, days we couldn't complete.

 

Always preparing for impending divide

Days spent together, ever in stride

Prepping for rhythms new, untied

In midsummer's cool touch, truths lied.

 

Gently fading, the cover over my eyes

Mocking the naive dreams, in soft disguise

Light cascades on the camellia's rise

Unfolding the winter within, a surprise.

 

At one in the morning, deep woods I confide

Mourning deeply, feelings coincide.

 

Candlelight flickers in the empty space

And I, day by day, chase the yesteryear's trace

Clouds part, I embrace

Continuing the dream's chase, seeking its grace.
