Dreams you forget in the morning

The heat of desire in your body
Sky of gold beyond distant clouds
Sip of water from an icy mountain spring
Bundle of flowers upon the ancient roots of a tree

Goddess of death behind the mask on your face
Stranger lurking in the shadows
Riddle concealed in the silence of the real
A sudden understanding that you can’t express in words

Tingle of joy on your skin
All your senses awakened
Drawn to the bonfire around which we gather
To lock eyes beneath the starry sky

The mirror of our smiles
The sparkle in your glance
Sweep of your lips upon my eyelid
Weight of your body upon me
