The Snake Charmer

 

That's right honey. 

  You still love me, 

Linked and slinking in bed. 

Linked and sneaking peaks 

  Bound by the cosmic dread pulling at you 

and lulling you  

  Into my abound. 

Sound, 

  and rightly ringing, 

In your eyes, 

  Hearing my whispers

As my dreams 

  Parade before me you, 

Ever just an arms length reach, 

  Yet we never speak. 

Even my dreams get, 

  The joke caught 

 Between this landscape 

 and the next. 

Even my dreams 

  Don't give me reprieve from this 

Suffocation 

  Of separation 

Creeping ever around in my subconscious. 

Rattling ever, 

  Is the essence of you...

 and the life both this one 

  and our next, 

Where we seem to have put our Love

  Eternally to Rest.
