In the Shallows of Desire
In dreams I run wildly
With each breath I take
In every expectant moment
My heart is pounding
I hear it echo
Over and over
As the night
Descends into morning
Dawn flows in
Like wine
Pouring crimson and gold
Into the inky night
It fills me up
To overflowing
And I am drifting
Downwards
Awakening
Fathoms deep
In the shallows
Of desire
