a fat spider
sits in the middle of
my dreamcatcher
unaware
it didn’t spin this web
overfed
on dreams of you.

it stares off
into the dark
multifaceted eyes
shining
with a glow
i recognize
reflecting your smile

the poor bastard
has no idea
what that smile has
done to me
the thought
of those lips alone
will destroy it

in spider eyes
and my heavy sighs
not a second passes
without being touched
by thinking of you
i am afraid of what happens
when it finally succumbs

will you engulf me
in your spectral infusion
take me again
mind body and soul
or leave me dessicated
on a dreamcatcher
of your own design
