"the artist of sweet dreams"

@Uootem

your voice caressing the most cryptic portions of my soul,
          once charmed me with long ago promises.
your fragrant hair brushing against my face,
          once told my heart of love's tenderness.
your warm breath against my neck,
          once told my heart of love's passion and power.
your love- sweetened lips finding me in a kiss,
          once allowed me to savor the taste your emotions.
your smile that spoke of your love for me,
          once made me whole, made you a part of me forever.
now you are entrenched in my memories
          and i realize that you are all I ever could want.
now my heart still sings out your name,
          if I listen closely... is yours singing the same?

as the past we shared begins to once again consume me
    I loose all orientation to reality...
          drift in a long ago land,
              but your memory is there to guide my way,
having once shared love with you
    sheds light on a darkened void in me
          that the sun and moon don't even know exist.
just knowing that you are a part of me
    gives me a reason to go on,
because you looked inside my heart
    and loved me there
          you are now my artist of sweet dreams.
