Lovers on the Road

Lovers on the Road:

We were lovers on the road

With our each kiss we color the horizon

The fireflies beneath the green hills know our secret wishes

The fountain recites the song of the return of a virgin

The moon hung low often, very close to you

To me, and I whisper fragments of poem torn from my own life, black and white, sepia then then colored.

We were lovers on the road

Homeless, running from one place to another

We loved our nothingness our everything and poverty

We laughed at the middle of fire burning in a winter night

We danced drunk on raw alcohol at the edge of the sea and then run to the midnight ocean

Naked, as if searching our ever lost home

We cried in silence but the waves came and washed them away

We rise again in the phosphorescence of life.

We were lovers on the road

After the sun set when the moon comes we were primitive

We sleep in the cheapest of rooms with laughter in heart

Our love was then like sacred and dangerous

Burning all in its way

Even us

Before between your legs

I found a different universe.
