Cascade of Reflection

You could look for me forever
in the well of words that 
float or drown in your mind
and I’d be forever 
your reflection 
lapping at your fingers
inky love rippling, 
teasing and intangible,
just a little out of reach,
like a fountain,
the sweet condition
slow burn, 
bubbling up,
you feeling 
the familiar,
you’re about 
ready to spill,
mind wet,
you take a sip
from the cup

It must have been all that New Year's champagne cascading. Thank you.
