Image of Words

Northern light envelops the sea You are not here You are just an image Formed by words On the body of the sea. I swear It was yesterday Two shadows were playing in the shallow shore, I swear The waves took off our clothes To submerge our bodies. In the winter our dreams collide Blue, dark are our thoughts Our words are waves Rise and die in the sea. You lie down by my side Like the earth. The sun shines red over your desert Your hair flies Music of the air. Sweet is the water The sand is warm Your lips are the foam And the fountain of the waves. You are not here You are only an image of words The sea, too, is only an image of the sea.
