An Inner love | inwordly embraced | |
as I sleep | not slip | |
falling | not fallen | |
in the first image | not mirage | |
I remember | drowning in | |
the quagmire | of your escape | |
that pulled me in to your illusion | ||
perverting | not pervading | |
every rest thick | as sand and deeper | |
than the waters | you are and | |
the love yous | you were, are, nothing | |
more, because | more and more yours | |
became mine | in airs no thicker than . . . |
