Pulling you down,
Can you surrender it all?
Tears sigh heavily,
As they...darling...
They burn...
Whisper against us,
Chasing the light,
Radiance beckons inside that pale blue sea...
Running towards a seductive illusion...
We are,
I realize...
Only a dream.

But don't let me wake...
Keep my heart still,
As you love me,
And sing once more...
Forever and ever...

You are Imaginary.~

The recurring prevalence of sexual undertones makes me question the sanctity of this relationship. While beautifully worded I found this a bit hard to follow..

&quot;...If the Thames that ran beside them...recalled a night where the moon shone as brightly as a shilling on the same boy and girl... and thought to themselves, &#039;at last, the wheel comes full circle,&#039; they kept their silence.&quot;

You seem to have this technique that not a lot of people have and that's that you're able to portray a lot of imagery and I just really enjoy that about your pieces.
