I DREAMT

I dreamt

my body was a lake

and your hands

sailing boats

dancing in the sunset of my skin.

I dreamt my body

was open sky,

and your mouth

a flock of seagulls

caressing its profile.

I dreamt my body

was a wide open road

and your arms

bunches of flowers

spreading perfume along the way.

I dreamt...

and I dreamt again.

When finally

awake,

you are right beside me.

We slightly smile...

and the dreams

come alive.
