Her Name Is Love

My beloved, my naked mermaid

Came to me in my river dreams

And whispered, "good morning, dear child. 

Did you sleep well?"

 

And I, sluggish in the wine of dawn, responded,

I forgot you in my dreamlessness,

A blind man's vision vanished."

 

As her raven hair unfurled like dark wings

I took hold of my senses, reached for her in reassurance

As she pressed her breasts to my chest.

 

It was then, at dawn, 

That I dove into her river,

My secret dream, my beloved, my life...

 Restored and refreshed within her.
