A Perfect Fall
I am overtaken...
by such a ray of sunlight
so fierce,
I give in and close my eyes.
I shut them quickly,
close them tight
to only feel my heart break open
to this warmth
pouring itself in, relentless,
filling every part of me.
Shut off to everything around,
I am perceptive
to your soul only,
and playing out my favorite dream
while slowly teased
by this slight smile
that's formed upon my lips.
So close to you...
except, I'm much too far.
Too far,
and too close to a perfection...
no wasted moments,
building upon a happiness,
of two souls together -
and perfect.
So close,
but not close enough.
I reach,
outside the shelter of my eyelids,
but it all remains
just beyond my grasp.
When my eyes fall
open,
that perfect dream
that tastes so much of reality
........except, can never be...
.......will
...........fall
..............away.
Still reaching,
I again understand
that it's just barely
too far away,
when everything else
is almost right.
Arms outstretched
to complete,
only to fall short instead
with the final puzzle piece
forever staying
just outside my reach.
