The Lovers - Marc Chagall

if I were a drop in the ocean
         you are the embrace of home -
   all-encompassing
            obliterating emptiness
   submerging and saving in an instant

   exist with me, I beg you
            in a vast sea of moments
      where true rest feels like the echo 
   of a haunting from before time 
             love but an afterthought 
       an attempt to label peace

        let me drown with you
    fill my lungs with dreams
  kiss my forehead 
       make me senseless
   revive me only if you wish it truly - only then
 for I couldn't bear anything other 
                than total immersion
