she's like a dream, that one

wrapped up in lovely words unraveling through slow motion time finding new words to replace old concerns and new alibis for old lies that spoke to her through her own mind and mouth and slightly wounded but still fighting heart. she's her own rock and owns her very own island of dreams and fantasies that are revealed in the times she closes her eyes and lets the words carry her inner voice all the way to the depths of your soul swaying softly to the melody far far away from her earthly body covered up in everything that is not lace. this little girl with this terribly large dream consuming her thoughts and her spare moments haunting her consoling her taking her away in pieces that float around the room through the air mixing with expectations and stolen sighs goodbyes and words that still linger though spoken years before. this girl wrapped up in lovely words unraveling through fingers that pull at guitar strings and serenade the birds that forgot how to sing. oh she's like a dream, that one all covered in invisible holes and burdened by scars that she traces with her finger from time to time reflecting on so called mistakes and second chances. the ways she moves reminds me of oil and water half of her stays in place and the other moves around constantly searching for a spot to rest her weary hands and ever-moving feet that bounce to rhythms of their own making and get her around a little more than others. this girl with her words and star like proposals all tender and sweet when no one else is looking stares at her reflection from time to time finding something new something previously unseen something she thought she lost along the way a smile a look a word written in the corner of her eye all come back having made that long trip back home settling on her skin making room for another gesture gaze or hazy look that puzzles me still and her even more. she can't lose anything nothing wants to be that far away from her. she has this touch and this way about her. she has this voice and this name for everything. she has this dream that she lives when no one else is watching.
