That Very Night

had a wicked dream
about a genie
that turned into
a mermaid
as she kissed me by the shore

and when my eyes closed
i submerged to her
and was numb

and we glided to oceanic depths
in that clasping embrace
through the dense, yeilding sea
she breathing for me

and with her
beyond the turquoise
the realm of whale song
among scuttling light rays
and peacock skate
was warm

we nestled
among
florescent anemone
& neighbouring sea-horse blushed
Moonfish turned and about
Like us
knowing all of each other
and needing say nought

and because of her
I dreamt
and for nothing could i want
beyond an eternity of this.....
intoxication


If she would draw from me
this kiss
I would surely drown
