Garlands

if I could weave 
Slender stemmed 
Daliah garlands 
around strands
of your sunkissed hair 

Bathing in my chest 
swallows made their nest 
My hands sink into yours 

as we stare across 
the waters of perception 
where all things floated 
equally 

Silence frowns this river 
I wade through 
Star filtered night 

I am scent 
You are depth 
We are air
