llusionary Winter Duet
by: R.M.M.
I dream through tear glittered eyes of something beautiful.
As my mind slowly passes over to slumber land, the tears change.
Suddenly, they were never tears at all, but snowflakes resting on my lashes.
The pain in my heart was never pain at all, just sweet gasps from the chilled air.
There is no lifeless cotton lump carelessly nestled in my arms.
Instead, you are there resting gently against me warm and alive.
I don't lay in that place as I used to in the other with tangled sheets and covers.
If anything is tangled, than it is my arms within yours.
We move and sway a bit like children under the winter moon.
Our shadows silently mimicking our motions in the snow.
You smile and I return it with my own cheery one.
Under the waning beams of the moon our lips meet and
the dream is over far too soon.
