Between Us There Are Seas

Between us there are seas,
There is an observed love.
 
There are nights in glow of morn, 
Gloomy and miserable  
 
Is it a bevy of birds-- 
Or an angel from my windows 
Overlooks?  
 
Ah, there are evenings
From fire and salt 
There grunts launched by shadows 
There are thorns injuring dreams 
There is a comma, wriggling 
Between dusk and twilight 
Creates from the night, tales
From the dream, Legends  
 
Ah, O nights that never seen! 
If you were, crimson, green or yellow!
Glows, in my poetry now, and forever
