Let us wake up someday
in the shadow of the dreams
where your lips are the only light
and I am inured to blindness.
Guide me to them
but not by touch
for this heart
shall memorize the curves
and you will be lost forever.
A smell shall suffice,
transverse me through your body slowly.
Till it is the light only that I can smell.
The light only, I can feel.
Let me be the mirage
in the deserts of your loneliness.
You will be the river that flows within me.
We will forget the thirst at least.
Till these dreams are sublimated
and the shadows vanish,
Come, walk on the dark side
of these fragile dreams
where the music fades
as the dark green leaves
welcome our toes.
I shall teach you someday
to seek darkness in the fire
and we shall make a home out of it.
I promise.
