In Dreams
her eyes like miles
entice me more
than her smile
which, I also adore
her artistic mind
& innocent eyes
show me her
essence is pure
under her long hair,
I see an honest face
kind ideas to share
and a mind in a race
what a honor her
signs of interest are
I hope she sees this
as chance chemistry
like two birds, we'll
escape the blank page
our styles and views
perfect to collaborate
the timing isn't great
both unable to create
still, her poems inspire
so, I'll try until I'm retired
we'll get the best
from our soul's safes
mixing our feelings
as we fill the page
for now, I'll think up
new concepts to relay
and hope she decides to
let our worlds assimilate
in dreams, our mix
makes words that burn
In dreams, ink tells a
tale two poets learn
entice me more
than her smile
which, I also adore
her artistic mind
& innocent eyes
show me her
essence is pure
under her long hair,
I see an honest face
kind ideas to share
and a mind in a race
what a honor her
signs of interest are
I hope she sees this
as chance chemistry
like two birds, we'll
escape the blank page
our styles and views

the timing isn't great

I agree with fallen angel's comment--very heartfelt, sincere--
I particularly enjoy the rhythms, which have a good baseline, but some good change-ups that keep it from becoming predictable--
favorite image: eyes that entice like miles--way to escape cliches! Nice work!
other images I enjoyed: her mind in a race (as far as a romantic image, very nice); and the words in your "soul's safe"
Enjoyed!

Dear W,
This is a wonderfully romantic invitation anyone would be honored to receive. It’s thoughtful, kind and raw in its openness. I wish you the best and hope to see its fruition, however, this piece stands on its own. H🌷

No rush at all..
If you're lonely, it's by choice.
I'd be happy to exchange thoughts with you and maybe take a walk through that cemetery.

I couldn't help but smile while reading your poem. Your admiration and respect for your friend is evident. Collaboration is tricky in the sense that both writers need to have chemistry to allow the words and themes to mesh together harmoniously rather than in discord. I salute you, William.
