.thoughts

i think of spirits dancing,
conjoined in harmony;
with flowing grace like ocean waves
that ride the moonlit sea.

i think of all the words we say,
of what is false and what is true;
the little lies we tell ourselves
and tell each other too.

i think of all the heartbreak,
of guilt and shame and pain;
the smiles we use to mask the truth
of tears we shed in vain.

i think of lovers laughing,
of friends just holding hands;
constrained to midnight rendezvous
to escape the world's demands.

i think of all the thoughts i think
of the things that cross my mind,
but still the things that matter most
are the thoughts of you i find!
