Fascination

You flow into my dreams awake,
With soft heart beat lullabies.
And every breath you give for me to take,
Discreetly makes me realize;
That there would be no breath without;
Your blood which now seeps in my veins,
Pulsating with, those words about
How you would not take the pain:
“Don’t leave me here, pale as the moon
My colors bled onto your canvas
And pictures darkened, fading soon
Into your hands, sweet memories of us”

You flow into my dreams, and I
Hold on to your silhouette,
Your fingerprints on the dusty windowsill, I try
To tell you that there is no way I will forget
The orchid you placed, in my glass jar
So delicately tended by your light
Resonating silently, captivating from afar

You flow into my dreams,
And I wake up, and you’re not near
But I can see, what this all means,
Behold, your orchid is always here.
