I DREAM OF ELOISE

I dream beneath the canopy of your beauty.
Others say that I should embrace the women around me,
but how can I embrace another, when their simple kisses
lack the romance that is imbued inside you?
Dreams echo below the cashmere blanket of your presence,
bouncing off the soft edges, to find me again and again:
Your promises finding me, even if you're gone,
and even if you never made them.
The wistful love songs and daydreams
that keep me company
belong to only you and me
        and no one else,
even if you are only fictional.
And even if that is what you only are,
then you will still be in my dreams,
and will still share them with me.

"The shade of your beauty" was originally "the canopy of your beauty".
Maybe that was better.
