The night – the eyes – the sea

In the night

The eyes see

The sea of stars

 

In the night

The waves water

Your pure soul

 

In the night

The tears fall

From high in the sky

In the ocean of feelings

Turned into silver mysteries

***

Clarity

When I arrived

I didn’t see you…

You were hiding yourself beyond an eon

 

When I came back

I saw you in my dream…

You were hiding yourself beyond a moment

 

When I left

I felt like you’ve been here…

Since the dawn of time

***

Dreaming

I see in my dream

I fall asleep on a cloud

I see in my dream

I fly to a star

I see in my dream

I breathe like the moon

I see in my dream

I live like the sun

I see in my dream

I get dizzy in the ether

Up there, very high

I see in my dream

You haven’t gone away

I know in my dream

You are still here

As in any dream of mine

***

Conditional

If only I could

I would lift you up to heaven

If only I could

I would walk you in the ether

If only I could

I’d keep you away from nostalgia

If only I could

I’d put you to sleep on a cloud

If only I could

I would baptize you on a star

If only I could

I would clone your love

If only I could

I would give you a galaxy

If only I could

I would dedicate an astro-poem to you

***

Mirror

Pure frozen water

Silver surface

Water-lilies floating on water

Reality reincarnated

Close distance

Imagined reflection

Concealed knowledge

Spiral depth

Faded concentration

Radiant symmetry

Inverted imagination

Apparition – invention?
