I dream of rivers
and that sparkle of theirs
sleeping upon sunlit waterlilies
my eyes sink into
that shimmering night of mine
and there I see
yours darling as sin
unsure of what to do
unblinking, wishful, gazing into mine
have I darkened them?
that tenderness within them
tell me, was it my doing?
drowsy river droplets kiss
that throat of yours
like I crave to
I dream of rivers
and that singing voice
of theirs lulling me
deeper into my slumber
the sun sets into
that gentle pomegranate color
of your unholy mouth
as you avert your gaze
then turn it back
and you speak about my
stars while you think
I am aware not
of it but I turn
in my sleep and
I shine brighter than
your foolish infatuation and
my eyes sink deeper
into the night of mine
I am a river
and that gaze of yours
will not halt my flow
I crave to sing
in that forest of your
heart but then sweetly
I remember mine is starlit
