The Way Fayer

to write a word on you

would be a first for me

my breath catching

as my thoughts before you freeze

the bareness of your lines

asking for a dress

of words already there

and wishing nonetheless

a vision to be spared

as my heart within me races

to spaces far and wide

never-before-been places

caught between my mind

and ever-after-never-been

eternity with its embers

burning molten love

from within your heart of hearts

holding infinity

as if abbreviated

in this present moment

my thoughts of you evaded

only when I see you

and all the pages written

about you in the stars

but more what lies beyond

as my words beneath them shrink

against the person that you are

and what you mean to me

as the two of us I dream

Oh! who we could be.
