The Song of Love

dance
dance
dance behind the mirrors

weep in bliss, lady

glide through my dreams

as I offer
my poems at your feet

sing a song

overdose the sitar with your voice

and
forgive the serpent’s eyes

hide the night
behind your mad smile

flirt with the child in his sleep

I know
you ruled the sandstorms
with your fingertips

steal the tears
of a wounded eagle

reward the earth with your soul

and then
come,
hallucinate with me

disappear
in the moonlit canvas
of an ageless February evening.
