Hypnotic

dancing in the starry light
an angelic gesture of innocence
she is what ive yearned to be
but could i tolerate her absolute peace
the infinate wisdom of the young
unhaunted, unbroken
she pulls me close, envelopes me
in unbridled passion
saved only for old lovers
or the bliss of innocence
could i partake in this wonder
should i taint her with my reality
let her face my fears
soothe my tears
as we become one
dancing in the starry light, the
moonlit wonder shining from her
eyes could it be mine
