Stars can finally speak

Wow!

Was it a dream?
could it be reality
dressed in cream
some say love is immortality

Gaze i at the horizon
silhouettes of diamonds
ah! far is the distance

Lay i on the bay
feeling my energies evaporate
with the mornning sun
fleeting images of you
racing with time and space

A pause!

starry-eyed
walked i a thousand savannah grassland
sailed i a million oceanic plain
nocturnal moon glimmers
un-earthing your silver cross

A jolt!

Harmattan wind caresses my body
'am at the threshold of september
first of the four
this you will remember
when the souls dance
in jubiliation of newly found love

In the word
from endless depth of your heart
green hope drip in twos
my longed for anchorage

look i up at the sky
clouds
make patterns with your name...
gemini
foretells my aim
