the dream falls apart
and the night splits in two
one half
the fire of you
flaming into sudden desire
and pulling me over the edge
of your uncertainty
over the ledge
of my ambiguity
and into your life
until you have me
completely
until i sink
into the steamy quicksand
of sleepy fantasy
wrapped in the warm blanket
of your flesh
the other half
the icy waking
alone and knowing
that the starry light
of your love
is so far away
that no matter
how my heart aches
and no matter
how my arms reach
my fingertips touch only the dream
of you and never
the softness of your skin
never the part in your lips
or the curve of your hips
never the unfolding flower of your beauty
so tightly locked behind the steel gate of fate
that i fear i shall never
find my way in
