Empyrean (a Poem)

 Empyrean  

 

One, two, three, four, 

One, two, three – fly 

I chase the illusion 

Dream – fantasize 

 

Drawn to the velvet 

Thick the motions scroll 

Clear floating breezes 

Line my heart’s soul 

 

Oh, do I see him 

Is he here – just there 

Dance for me kind king 

Spin your servant fair 

 

Long I’ve dreamt to find you 

Entice, come near I pray 

Take my hand, my every breath 

Give your strong command 

 

Drawn to this, my trance 

An escape to be with you 

If only in my visions 

Until a day so new 

 

So new with its beginning 

Unearthed and set above 

Heaven holds my waiting 

How dare I mention love
