Upon a thousand beams of starlight Descending slowly to the earth Stepping from the ethereal night To grace this humble hearth The fragile fragment of unnamed dreams Turns an angelic head my eay A beauty so divine, serene To shame the light of day Astral eyes sparkle a perfect blue, A spectral face becoming flesh, Pristine as the morning dew, My heart, ensnared, enmeshed Watching breathlessly as slowly he Steps closer now, his hand to mine, His eyes, those eyes, look into me, Two hearts, two souls, entwine Kneeling softly in this hallowed place, One hand in solemn disbelief, Rises calm to touch that celestial face, My eyes, in sweet release, Shed tears that still my trembling soul, My heart, in wondrous awe and fear, Bespelled, enchanted, taken whole, His heart beating near Trancending time and life and death, A kiss, a touch, one sweet caress, Two lives held, one dream, one breath, One eternal endlessness Pausing briefly, one tranquil sigh Before the night, the spell is done One peaceful thought, one last goodbye, Then we, once two, are one.
Reason for writing:
I've heard many interpretations of this piece which I wrote
in 1992, so many that I hesitate to speak of my own meanings.
If you find something here, let me know!
