You are my dream up in the lavender universe

With brooding grey clouds

Tinted in gold of the lining of the horizon.

You are what I want to be 

When my heart runs lost 

In tangled mazes.


I am your timeless hope, 

Down here on the earth

That I’ll wait for you tomorrow morning 

Again

Running deep into red bush fields

Along with chirping blackbirds, sparrows and robins

Aiming to reach the skyline

Where earthy red mingles with the slowly burning morning sky

To gift you my kiss

That never reached you.

When I turn into ashes

Response to: Mariam Meriam

When I see you standing

On a sandy beach,

I will ask you to join me

With every retreat of the silver wave,

You will hear my voice

As the wind of a golden sunset

From Lanzarote,

My salted breath will brush your skin

Gently,

Your every whisper

Will bring magic

Turning my ashes

Into dark brown sparkling amber stones

To take them with you

And grace yourself

When you sail away

To the place where you feel happy.
