underneath the stars

underneath the stars


i think
of you
asleep
not far
away

your breath whispering,
rising then
falling

your sleeping eyes,
peaceful in your hair's
halo

the music
that danced with the sun's
rays on
our faces




underneath this canvas
where dreams and
reality
share space

i see, feel
everything

the millions of years
the millions of paths

that conspired


coincided

to this moment

to this water that we
float
on.




i think of getting lost
in
your hazelnut
eyes
the purr
of your voice the ocean
of your skin the
beautiful galaxy of
your mind

while the guitars
swirl
around
us



and the seconds
slow


to that sublime

standstill




of just me
and
you




underneath the stars
