The Safest Love

You could blow about me like a wind
caressing me all over
I could breathe you in like fresh air
and have you float about me
a softly perfumed breeze

You could rush over me
like a wild river , could dive into you
thrilling with the shock
of the chill rush between my legs
and across my breasts

You could consume me
like a raging wildfire
uncaring , unfeeling, only using
and discarding the wanton remnants
to scatter and drift away

You are mist and dream
there is no safety
in things outside my mind
and out of my control
reality is inconsequential

You are my safest love
a passion I don’t have to hide
real lives never touching
I dream of you always
and know you not
