half awake; of you: dreaming --
in your eyes I see that look
call out to me without words;
vision fades, in dreams I see you best.
 
 yet, memory persists
 
your head rested 'pon my shoulder
a moment, an echo caught in forever
nighted parking lot, hand held in mine
heart just a little faster, head higher
timely embraces, too many to count
the only balm for my soul.
 
 memory persists 
 

I sing of thee my boy wonder
and these memories forever mine.
