kneiss

you’re in my dreams under moon and star
I close my eyes and there you are
I feel your touch in the ticklish breeze
I hear your voice lifted on the high seas
should have kissed you when I had the chance
feared you’d disappear with the slightest advance
my thoughts are imprisoned inside your head
wondering what course the river could run instead
your crypted words left a curious impression
devious depression separates messages from self expression
one day I’ll open my eyelids
and there you’ll still be
more radiant than those crazy, squirrellish cupids
who make you ever so irresistible to me
