flight of fancy

for you my friend, a simple glimpse at the world you mean to me...

____"never loose sight of what's under your nose, for it may guide you round the bend" :)   __________

words flow like a barren spring
into an empty brook
inspiration that once eluded
thoughts you overtook

in total awe you left me
my thought of train AWOL
another trip for me
into the dark corners of my soul

your beauty overwhelming
a soul unlike I've ever known
wrapped in imperfections
core of solid gold

in this masquerade called life
you stood naked as the truth
left me stunned
as if I'd stared at the sun
I think the words "aloof"

made me believe in unicorns
something I'd lost in myself
and that gravity's only there
to keep shit on a shelf

you shed light to corners of me
places I never thought I'd get back
made me smile so deep it was dangerous
..forgot how much I'd painted black..

so for your very existence
  I thank you..
for the small glimpse into your soul...
   I cherish..

like the time the moon smiled
at us down upon
wherever our paths lead,
a part of you I will carry
till the day I'm gone....

take my words as you will
but do not misconstrue
this is simply a glimpse of me

         yet a celebration of you
