i found a dream
in a fountain pens leaning on the door
and life in a paper pasted
to a newly waxed wooden floor - i found
you in the window
next to a wishing well - wishing well on a stardom
as I exhaled my thoughts of such a living hell
without your touch - without a drop of your laughter
landing on the rim
of this glass of burgandy that balances
my act of caring between
One - Holy Amen!
and all the diamonds
dancing on the night , and i dream too
within the spaces left
by the simple words - you scattered so neatly on the day
along with kisses to each my sighs
now given well away
as a wooden floor holds the paper, and
a window holds my hearts last flame - all within
a fountain pen's dreaming of some lover
without an earthly
face or a binding written name
