Sweet Confection

You are the most beautiful woman I have ever known,
I bet you've never heard that said before.

Well, I tried really hard not to think of you today
But that's like asking a Bee not to dream of flowers,
Or a flightless bird not to look to the sky.
Or a lover, not to see the summer,
When they look into your eyes.

Because instead of not thinking of you at all
I thought of you every second of the day.
So I had to write you another letter
To expel the ghost of you from every room.

But as I write, I think and know, I am forever lost in those eyes,
That blue disguise, that washes over distant shores,
Those shores my mind, awaiting every wave,
Crashing soft, crashing hard, eroding my core.

I long to hear your voice
To be able to speak with you
But you live now in my dreams
You wake me up with your breath
A whisper in the early hours
Falling like drops of rain, or tears,
In my semi conscious state,
Warm they trickle down my skin,
I wake knowing already, those tears are mine.
