This Dark Dream


Making love should be an elaborate dance
A symphony of souls combining
Then drifting away
When I look into your eyes 
I see two skillful lovers 
In the reflection of an icy pond
Set for a conflagration of lust
It all ends in exhaustion and the need to move closer
Knowing soon we will be apart
Perhaps forever more
It is this vision that consoles
Knowing that as far as we roam 
Separate and aloof
There will always be this dark dream
A phantasm of ecstasy 
In the shadows
That links us together
For eternity.
