Crazy For you

I dreamt of you last night
Your hands like warm honey
leaving trails of sweet along my chin
you smelled of dreams
frothy like Guinness stout
I reached for your memory but
it eluded
Your voice melting into
the framework of the unknown
I listen attentively
as if certain it will be long
before I hear you again
Your spirit lingers here friend
Making me lose my footing
Commanding my feet
they disobey
tracing honey trails

Picking the morning from my eyes
I arrest her breaths as she sleeps silently
attempting to tickle each soft exhale
from her pursed lips
she is beauty
still
directed and fearless
I watch as the lids of her
eyes flinch
imagining each moment
she dreams
squeezing my eyes
tight
I attempt transformation
I am earth
she grows valiantly
beneath the soil
raising up like tall oak trees
outsmarting time
