Am I There

I watch you sleeping Wonder where you are Near me Far away Am I there In your dreams When your eyes skitter Searching Do you find me Is it me you’re smiling at My lips upon your lips When they purse to kiss My hand in yours When your fingers curl Do you love me There In your shape-shift world Am I me Or a silk-skinned Delilah Promising pleasure with vertigo eyes Is it us laughing When you laugh Are we crying When your face droops with sadness Do we intertwine like wingless swans If the ground shimmers into stars Am I there In your dreams I wonder
