Over mountain's towers
Crashing into stars
Drifting through streams
Cascading as desires
Racing over bridges
Of stone-faced harshness
Taunting the moon
As night loons calling
Daring those fugues
Revealed in deep waters
Another gold-laden vision
Sinking into sand
To taste each other
One more time
As tides are lingering
Beyond the perimeter
And their bodies
Tarry too boldly
All wrapped in sash
Hiding that sight
From frightened eyes
Unwilling to see
Everything tangible
Everything silken
Too smooth and --
Too sinewy
Dancing above Quartz
Laid down as marble
Inviting another dance
And their laughter
Remains infinitely captured
Inside an Opal's depth
Impenetrable and changing
Ridiculing each impossibility
As palms duly washed
In harsh crystal tears
Cannot touch them ---
Within such dreams.
