Such Lovely Dreams

 Because i can bear no further mourning at this juncture,

let me tell you instead of the iris aurora daydream

where i hide when death creeps too close:

you and i stand where the water meets the world.

The intricately woven unity of our heartbeats

calls the sun to rise, 

and, "i love you," bursts from night's stars

in a sanctifying rain.

No other soul dares exist,

just us in the blushing dawn. 

Your hand in my hair,

your face on my chest,

our oneness pulls the tides
