Only As Far As The Next Dream
By Steven Ericsson-Zenith
Golden
She leaps
And is nestled within my solar plexus
With such joy
That the seed of life threatens to leave us
In despair
.
She holds in surprise as we withdraw
Doubts for only the moment
She curls within me
Courses through our veins
The unity providing
.
"Where are we?" I hear you say
Speaking with my soul
In yourself ...
I answer "Here"
.
I awoke for awhile
We spoke still in our mind
We never met as our souls departed.
.
Besieged by the doubts of social understanding
Your heart lies
Lost
To fall from so high
The agony of landing
Should we forget the treatment
Closing eyes to ecstasy unbelieved
.
In truth ...
We are only as far as the next dream
In our sleepless nights of ecstasy
Like silent flights, flawed with perfection
The pained erection has no meaning
.
And so from within me look as you did before
Recall the off-shore wind with latent nostalgia
That scent revealing the unremembered
Something learnt
It's not as far as it seemed ...
