" The Residue Of Your Memory "

I Gladly accept your Love
From the sunset of your Lips
Through the moons shadow
And starlight's trickle
Tickling worlds so far apart
It's so easy to receive
Their imprint upon my heart

The Residue of your memory
Perfumes the character
Of my most intimate reflections
And romantic perceptions
That I so earnestly endeavor
To Will into existence
As a constant reminder of you

The befuddlement I find
At your having extended kindness
And Loving fluorescence
In My direction
Is more than a miracle to me now
It's become a lotic river
Where each day, I run aground

And as each day rolls into another
I'm Aloft, just strolling the heavens
Contentedly
For it's there I know i'll find you
Like the angelic embrace
I've come to know
You are.....

For:  Cherie
