Ancient

You are something more
than the dreams ever described
You are something permanent
etched into my mind
as a perfect painting of bliss

There are moments when I wonder
if I have somehow gotten lost
in an eternal slumber
with you as my guide
trying to bring me home

I watch sunsets on fire
and the skyline smoking
while the voices of the hidden
choke on emotions trapped
within my heart and throat
that whisper your name

You are indeed majestic
like the queens of the ancient world
beckoning to stone kings
to take their place beside beauty
in dance halls paved with gold
