Alchemy (And All the Elements of You)

She moves silently, gliding over cold slate floors

as if to force my imagination to believe

that I, assayer of such dreams, will surely love

her precious soul by virtue of an outstretched heart

and as if, in trails of golden dust and swirling flakes

I will measure each step closer, by its purity and weight

its energy, her shallow breath, our pulses race so much

and here now to be forged in gold, comes our very first touch...

So rarely could one find such pleasure in desire

hearts presence cast far beyond any average reach

beyond subconscious drumming beats, in golden steps

she came to me, gracefully, beyond my ability to believe

that I had been so loved before, beyond this scene

Here we lay in etherized purity framed in tangled waves

waves of yearning wetness, no lovers can forget

where softly mixed bodies are so deeply sketched

in charcoal strokes, or magically in earthen silhouettes

surely these golden rays as with those that were before

aren’t merely fiery, sunlit rays, but rather truly precious ore

formed in love’s subtle alchemy between reality and dreams

golden senses reaching out beyond our souls it seems

like nothing in our dream world, could ever feel so warm so true

and nothing in a real world, could ever match, all the elements of you...
