Reflections Change Upon Entry

could be you take this to your grave
and then rave to whatever is found
'round those parts
   a boastful start
       to kick off existence
          in the great beyond

It's just love
common like white doves at a funeral
    and the myth that Heaven floats
                         cradled above
                on feathery gloved clouds

but we know it rains
don't we
we see the clouds        drift
and watch them swell
and quell the thirst
of those lucky things
        or drown those
unlucky sorts
that too much prosperity brings

maybe I'm the moon
in love with the shimmer
of starlight dancing
on your face
maybe it is cold
and your embrace
seems warm
and encompassing of space

do you truly hold me dear
as so it seems you do
you flow so gently 'round me
tickling
perhaps
giggling
is that what I hear

is that a sigh

really I'm a rock
in need of understanding

and you
a vast expanse
of self
that will only absorb

my dream is lovely
a love in purple
garish and whimsical

but love is blue
when true

with
or without
you
