Saimin

Waves upon the shore, we break the darkness
Confusing ourselves 
Amongst the mingling dwellers of the eve
Absorbed in our discourse
We slip into a sushi bar

Out in the courtyard
A young couple dances
They are synchronized, in collusion
With each step we inhale warm envy
Intoxicated with aspirations

On the streets, we spill our souls
The wet night rings out
With every drop shimmering
Like the surface of your eyes
Trickling into my heart

Great, U have a way with words, "trickling into [her] heart." Perhaps I have inhaled "warm envy" too. Peace & Success Marcum. Shalom/ HEALING from anil deo
