Untouchable loves

The ghost of you
comes to me in the night
bared of all
earthly trappings
your hairless bronze chest
naked
in the moonlight
of my dreams
I try to touch you
but my arms are leaden weights
I try to see you
but my eyes are lost somewhere
you are the reflection
of what could have been
we move rhythmically together
somewhere in the darkness
an elusive dance
of untouchable loves...
