Love Poem: Simulacrum Soul

Simulacrum Soul

Simulacrum Soul

Are you a dream

Did I consider and formulate

The prose images

Which captivate my soul

So completely

And well up from me

Such a missing

As to leave me hanging

Useless

On tones of desire

Are you a dream

Romantic held

And beauty seen

Someone I may once have

Known

The touch of you

Lingers

My fingertips reminisce

Somewhere in my soul

Are you a dream

A dream of waiting

A dream of longing

A pounding echo of

Having

Spoken so close

I

Your neck once felt 

The brush of my breath

Fall soft tingled

Turned your ear

To my lips

I

Whispered then

I love you

While my arms in worship

Wrapped about you

Only to bring

The depths of your eyes

Closer

So much closer

To mine



Are you a dream
I think not
