Dream Space

I dreamed of a space
Where I could spend
My years
Nestled
In the light of your arms
If only I could have persuaded you to stay
To hear the water
Pour on stone
To have a vision of
More
Than the shot
In the neck
On the toilet floor

I dreamed of a space
Where I could spend
My years
Not awake
Not sleeping
But nestled in your chest
Gently breathing in
Blue

I dreamed of a space
Where I held your heart
And said
Enough

I dreamed of a space
Where we could play
With stories
And words
Nestled in the hammock
Under the apple tree
We would spend our
Years there
Turning gently grey
Smiling
Hand in hand
Warm
Cheek against cheek

I dreamed of a space
Where reality came
To an end
At the bottom of a plastic bag

I am poured out like water
My heart turned to wax

We play a silent tribute
In the shade
Light the candle
Warm our hands
Our cheeks
Our hearts

I dream of a space
Where we will spend
Our endless years
Smiling
Together
Strong as all our bones
Melted into one.
