Secret lover

That moment between sleep and waking,when limbs lie heavy sinking into stone wall unconsciousness. Where I can float on unseen currents of air,find you standing without misconceptions. That moment between life and lovewhen the heart stretches to open, when passion flies in like a golden eagle,with the sun  flaming its wings. Each time I see you it’s the samethat huge unseen force that empties out the room, I devoid of oxygen am gasping like a fishon your outstretched hand. Lovers mingle at the corner of the streettraffic noises whirr inside our lives, but, you and I adrift, an unknown sea of stars collide at corners of the barwhere neither one can speak, of the love we feel.
