Boatman and some love songs

hours of magic silence


song of the haunted rain,


your voice travels to me
through the wet empty spaces
of the night


like an echo of faint desires


a kiss of the blue swords
of time


~


whirlwind of roses
and poems,


silver tears
in your amorphous eyes


calling you mine,
I speak a silent prayer
inside your temple of faith


bit by bit,
I sketch your name
on the white sand


farewell to my love
for winter nights..........


I finish my last letters
beneath the moon


~


boatman of the skies,


night after night,
your song grows more painful
in my sleep


your tunes weep
as you travel in my dreams


the waves never complain
of your trust
in illusions


I hear you speak
with passion
to the monsoon winds


you sing softly to the rain
your tales of grief or pain


like a child,
you stare at the stars
and wait
for her response
