We laid there
In a dream I didn’t want to wake from so
I closed my eyes
And imagined your hand floating above me,
A sea of sharp sunlight stabbing
Between your fingers and
The sanguine skies reflected the sun in your blood
Until my eyes shone red with
Love for you, this moment
The desert your breath breathing over sands
That whisper no future or past but the
Power of this moment
Now and now I’m crying salt in the sand on
My cheeks
Because you me here now too salty sweet bitter
When we touch
The skies smile red because how many times
Our hearts bled, apart, yet the streams finally
Met in the middle
And I wake, crying my eyes back to sleep,
Because when I exhale I smell you
Deep inside me.
