Touching the sky
you were
In my heart's hole
You lie silent
The blue
of the tiny sky
The yellow of the tiny stars
Lost you are to me
though in you I had hope to lie
Your teeth are mirroring
the tiny stars
Smokey, you flood by me
Ripples of jasmine
Heavy smoke in your path
Wait for me by the summer stream
Black sky is around you
You pass, dissolve and stutter "farewell"
Lost you are to me
The ice is some distant bed
Ripples of jasmine
Heavy smoke in your path
Wait for me by the summer stream
Lost you are to me
Your tongue hovers on your lips
The stars are very far now
and you are very far now
Ripples of jasmine
Heavy smoke in your path
Wait for me by the summer stream
The stars are very far now
and you are very far now
The stars are very far now
And you were not real at all
and I had hoped to say
"The stars are very real"
You were not far at all
I had hoped to say..
Over beyond me and you
the sea waves "goodbye"
as it laps in my heart
And you are very far now
And you are very far now
The stars are very far now
As if dead
