Into Remembrance We Believe by Stephen Jarrell Williams

I come to you
In the flutter of night dreams
On your side loose in sleep
Pinpricks across the sheet of your bed
Covering your shoulder and hip
Your leg tucked against the other

Fire and floods of the far world
Closer than you want
Earth no longer a sweet dream

I breathe upon your lips and cheek
Teasing your inner boundaries
To forget this world that aches

But you’re having trouble escaping
Turmoil in real life
So I kiss you
Whispering a song that tingles

My essence touching you
As many years ago
Into remembrance we believe
Yester night into tonight

I am not a vampire or cosmic lover
Just someone captured
By the breath of your being

Together this night I protect you
And hush the outside monstrosities
As we snuggle
Time sealed in the moments of now
Not sure if I can let you go.
