For You

on this lonely night,
smoke rings fill the air

like thoughts of you fill my mind

what can be done about the untouchable

figment of my imagination that seems too real

to ever let go of

to let float back into this unforgivable universe?

with hands tied behind my back

and blind eyes leading my footsteps

i guess at the trail that lies ahead of me

and trust that the bounding trees of the redwood

won't get in my way

but rather, surround us on that unforgettable day

of you and i

you and i baby,

you and i....

my thoughts get tangled in circumstantial words

and bound by influential perceptions

of denying eyes

but then, perhaps that's a good thing

for i could never be arrogant enough to assume that

your eyes

and my heart are connecting

for all i know its my presence alone

that you're rejecting

and that's fine.

all i need you to hear are my words that speak the following:

you, all of you

your heart, your eyes,

your body, your being,

your presence,

your essence,

is more than much of this world will ever fully grasp

and understand

in the most beautifully tragic sense

but for me....

to me....

you are everything i want and can never have

you are the spirit of the earth

that pulls me from my deepest nightmares

and into my most beautiful dreams

you are what i know to be...

what God himself...

created for me.

I love you
