passage

I saw you run past the end of my bed
pretending to be a dark shadow
last night
yes I saw you
between the heavy lids
of my eyes
you fly
in and out
through time and space
and I know that you know
that I know
what it takes.

You come around here
with trails of the past
the electric light
buzzing around you
making you
enveloping you;

enlightening me.

You’re the shape that you always were
only prettier
and you set me alive
reminding me that you’re beside me
still

you don’t surprise me
I’ve been waiting for you
and wondering
what took you so long.

    you are unbelievable. you truly are.
    this has a real “NRG” about it and it really takes me away somewhere then brings me right back to reality in the last stanza.
    just beautiful writing. it’s like an orchestra, it really is!

    well… well… well… it would seem I’ve been burying myself in the pubic realms of pictures for far too long… how did I miss this most brilliant writing? damn I can be so selfish and autistic! Thanks for sharing these wonderful words Nicole.
