THE SUBMARINE PLANET

glimmer of stars bejeweled the sky,

the winter winds filling 

abruptly the space

 between the 

closeness ,

the knots of heart, wishy-washy the

thought, a sweet fear is obvious,

 in raising delicate fingers to

 touch the chest, leaning 

face of tube rose stem 

shivers in the 

midnight,

 rising your fragranced breath, 

touching to my passionate 

perception, flick of 

desire became

 flame, the

 desertion

isn’t so easy, gliding away river edge,

in enclose, the tidal waves going

 up toward the sky, in your 

whimper noise, life 

searches the lost

 crucial mast, 

strange

 night

 creates more magic, holding hands, 

your inclined face on the neck, 

draws the dream of eternal

 love, illuminated face 

reflects the secret

 of river valley,

as milky

way

submerging gradually, scratches of 

concealed caves, now noticeable 

on the corporal surface, before

 the dawn we crossed channel.
