reverie
reticent reverie
come to me
not as a wild thought
a forgotten image
or a transient feeling
not as the wave
that returns
after kissing the shore
not as light
that trickles
through the leaves
on a sunny day
unsure of its presence
or absence
but as the coolness of sand
under the shade of the sun
as the white of pearls
or the green of leaves
as the lasting depth
of ocean bottom
stay with me
like inherent nature of things
constant yet fascinating
unwavering
enduring
real
incessant rain
absorbed
in the symphony
of raindrops,
our shadows lend expression
to undiluted colors
of madness
of dreams
as you become my muse
inspiring me,
loving me
you come closer
draw me near
a meeting
upon the altar
of our shrine
a sweet torture
as amorous stars
fall from your gaze
into this silent reverie
fading us away
boundaries dissolve
words melt away
in this duet
between the shores
of delight and pain
submerged,
we loose ourselves
in the spell
that remains
……
