…in a sea of stars

Come sweetheart, come tumble down in love with me
unveil yourself to this unanswerable desire
that echoes in our hearts
whirling in flight, let it take us together into the velvet night
where unspoken promises are understood
whispered to us, danced upon our acquiescent flesh
this dream is far too sweet, we love passionately
in a thousand different ways
the peaks blaze up against the sky
the petals that flow with our blood, tremble in full bloom
tender like water, our passion runs like oncoming tides
we swim in a sea of stars
I am a bird in song, impatient with desire
your sure fingers sound the strings of my soul
slowly, you release me, I breathe you in
and we fall into dripping colours
where at last, we lie in sweet repose, embraced by infinity itself
and so, I drown in joy
and drown, and drown
once more
