She thinks

   Then she sleeps

            she dreams

She is quiet

   She doesnt have to sweat

Blood and tears

   She strokes my hand

   I lay my head on her tender

Gentle breast

   She rubs my back

     She calms the beast

            Calms my waters

As she sleeps

And as she sleeps

     She dreams

I dream

     I dream of her

of stealing kisses

of one single

   night long

            kiss

She sleeps

She dreams

She dreams of playing with dolphins and tiger fish in blue water

   I’m still dreaming of that kiss

      We’re still surrounded by blue water

           Swirling up about us

                           around us

           and she sleeps

           and I dream

     She is quiet

     She is still

     She touches my hand

     and I take her soft hand into my own

and I sleep

and I dream

and we kiss

and we hold hands

      Underneath the covers

and she thinks

and she sleeps

and she dreams
