Waves

By

Lovers; Mirrors; Twin Flames
I saw you in a dream
You were a girl on Venus
Held my hand through the hallway, then the exit of our School, then to the Venue with our dresses
I said, “But I’m promised to a Man down on Earth,”
Then I knew.

How I used to sneak into your tent
Just to play the Lyre
But end up making love.
I am the poppy who sways on our final battleground
You are the breeze that kisses my petals
And we are buried underneath

I wake up with your hair caressing my face
As I crane my neck to kiss you awake
The green of your eyes open like a traffic light’s invite

It’s you.

Did you know that I’m the first in my family to see the Ocean?
Lovers; Mirrors; Twin Flames

Let’s be each other’s women today
And when earth rotates for another chance,
We can fall in love like young school boys
