Depth of Space

 

The bed felt deserted

through the cast away

of darkness

as I stretched

arms flapping to find you

swimming in another ocean of space,

let me dive into your land,

the fantasies

and desires.

Ah…

there in that corner

of conscious existence

and you pull me

                                                  knotting your fingers into….
