..prelude....
{Fresh out of a dream
My breath keeps time with the
Pounding of my heart
It beats
Like the love I have for you}<p>A Heart's Destination<p>My walk was long, the journey pointless
As I stumbled through a great vined stairway
The clouds weere covered in pinks and reds
Your voice a distant calling
Inside my ticking head<p>Tucked in the folds of my pocket
Hid a diamond treasure
It's intention never to be on my hand
But to belong to the fingers of another woman<p>And as I scurried down, down,
Blackbirds sang out to me
They seemed to laugh at my journey
As I tried to scrape beyong the trees<p>My feet soaked with rain
They still continued to carry me to you
Not slowed by a single drop, then
At the end of the path, they stopped<p>Frozen.<p>I fumbled at the ring,
Twisting it into my pocket fabric
Gathering loops and piles around the gold
My hands reached out for someone to hold<p>And there he was.<p>Just like I remember him
Hair wiry, his face reminiscent of
a bird, sitting in his nest of hair
His body too small for the other parts to share.<p>Confusion travelled up my spine,
And took the words out of my mouth as
I wandered further down the path with him
Dared into his eyes that hung over his chin<p>Those orbs decorated with gold and blue flecks
That take each breath away from my lungs
and my heart forgets how to beat...
I am lost in my mind's retreat<p>But then I saw...
you!
You were hiding under that hair, the skin
The teeth that kept your tongue in
And I saw my husband looking at me
Not the eyes I expected to see<p>My soulmate found in an old lover's glare
My mind raced back to the moment as
I took one more long stare<p>The ring!
My hands sprung out of my pockets
And thrusted the ring onto the ground
Without question or answer
We kept walking faster and faster and faster...<p>Then death came to see us at the
end of the path
And I ws reborn again, a ghastly image
Searching the earth for the comfort
Of your hand<p>And finally, in a dungeon
Filled with past memories
I saw you again, but you were you
Creating a brilliant light of amber
More brillian than the sun<p>I stepped into your light
And then like an old picture show
Our story begun.....
