FOREVER AFTER

I swam through orchid streams for you, till the stars grew suspicious, and the moon divided the blue serene, I climbed ten thousand eminent mountains for you, till I reached the sanctum of gold, and emerald crowns, I offered myself to the God's for you, just to hold you close within the royal days of Autumn dance, Where true romance lives forever after, through crystal ballrooms, glass slippers, and silver winged gowns, sometimes scathed kingdoms change into amber pages, through cameos of literary sage, where singed leaves, turn into torn parchment, by the hands of medieval, archers and mages, deep sea shadows, freeze to spy on sweet September, Where phantasms become falling stars, and the heavens become your every breath.

I would wait for you, and count each wish on my finger, until dates became letters, and spell out the days of the month, I would wait for you, and write each tender word you had for me, to second guess the century, without pause to chalk a slate, I would wait for you, till the skies open, and the oceans live their blue black depths, I would wait for you, until day almost speaks to me, just far enough to call your name, but near enough to see a star, I would wait for you, and wind away each decade, with breathless nights and golden wings, to paint the sky narrow, cause your all I know of saints.

I cup the same water in the palm of my hands, and name each drop that cleanses my face, as feeble rivers escape through my fingers, quenching the thirst of the air dry sand, before infinite skies of wishing stars, forging light through crystal mountains, creating rainbow meadows, like I was holding a prism in my hands, brooks often pass but fear to spill a prayer, kingdoms come not so beautiful of yours and mine, religious hands reach out and touch you, wishing simple stories that nature has told, letters of majesty find me first awake, in a different time and place, to watch you dream into the pages of make believe.
