Water-carrier

I’m a dreamer. I am

Your timid glance told me
we have oceans of words to exchange

your uncomfortable lips
we have barriers to tear

your hesitant step
we will exhaust the continents

restless we’ll dawn the Earth
on the same always day

the one your hand
humbly moved towards mine

the one your eyes and smile
enlightened the Universe

the one had been our first
and our last to be.

Had a dream of you last night
may be cause I wanted to
see us finally together
casting out the black and blue

saw us staring at each other
in the heat of melting glass
holding hands so tight together
singing rhymes that never last

in your arms I am in heaven
in your eyes I sail in love
in your heart I rest for ever
I’m your candle you’re my dove

had a dream the other day
or it was a state of fact?
I was crawling at your doorstep
pleading you to pick me up

lacking you I burn my fuel
in a trip that makes no sense
all that’s left for me to do now
weeping for a future tense

in your arms I am in heaven
in your eyes I sail in love
in your heart I rest for ever
you’re my candle I’m your dove.

Excuses I can find a bunch
like lilies to place in your lap
and tell you stories

to take your hands in mine
and kiss your fingers

to turn your glance of disbelief
into a creek of tears

but I won’t

I won’t cause I respect you
I cherish you as a person

I put my selfishness aside
and ask you to do the same

for it’s the only way…

It’s a bitty place where I live
though, little do I mind
always try to make ends meet
spending time for space to find

home already packed and crammed
drawers, closets, singles’ couch
hiding, piling pending hopes
casting out the clouds of doubt

I hang my clothing on the wall
panties, socks under the mattress
I sleep outside from Spring to Fall
acting as if nothing matters

the other day I couldn’t help
but have a dream one more time
a reverie before my step
that sounded Bach and smelled like lime

indulged myself on the door-way mat
to spend the night without a blanket
the new-born keeping safe and warm
at the inner pocket of my jacket.
