I fainted

In my sleep

And woke up in your dream

As drunk

As my eyes

blinded by the morning’s

Orange sunrise

Could let me see…

My drunk words

confessing or con-surfing on

the thoughtful trains

Of the sober rails

Of my infatuated mind:

As I watched you

By the river banks

Your reflection

Floating upon

The peach_blazed surface

As nearby mermaids

Captured the essence

Of your angelic skin

And your Renaissance

Ooh! you beautiful woman!

faced and blossomed

towards the sun

While I reached out

To your delicate,

Yet majestically proportioned figure,

your walk unto the waters

as smooth as drums

along my refurbished heartbeats

While I teared joyfully

to the thought of

Capturing you swimming

with the mermaids

Like an angel

drenching vividly

upon the wettest wells

of my finest fantasies of you,

You woman of my heart,
