My Imagination of You
My imagination of You departs
like an impending recollection of a dream-
a narrative between shadows, colorless
with welcoming, stretchable dimensions,
lily shadows in blue water-
requiems of an impending tale.
My imagination of You departs
like a cartographer-
a maker of narrative between shadows,
a colonizer of collectibles
from your fugitive presences.
Purple Flowers in Dreams
Purple flowers sprout
like an omnipotent thought,
from a distant, cloudless
crevice of his eyes
(there and everywhere),
like peace, hibernating
in some crevice of sweet time-
purple flowers in dreams.
