“Enchantment is a small wonder magnified through meaning,
fascination caught in the web of fable and memory.”
Katherine May

You step from the
Elysian mists
And enter the world
Of my dreams,
A beloved shadow,
A shade of my heart,
Always a part of me,
Always present, and yet
Only sometimes
Wholly with me.
But oh, my love!
How I cherish
Those moments!
Those hours without time
When I come to life
In your arms,
When our hearts truly
Beat as one,
When our breaths mingle, and
Our souls take flight
As you lift me from
This physical body
And lead me somewhere
Only we know and
No one else will follow,
Our own enchanted realm
Created just for us,
Free from caustic eyes
And scornful tongues,
Where you and I
Can bare our hearts and souls,
Where we can be
Our true st selves,
Two halves made whole,
Before the dawn comes
And you must withdraw,
Leaving me once again
To face the harsh light of day
Alone.
