My mind is illuminated
With music and poetry
As I stand beside you
In your yellow dress.
You’re always talking
About rose petals
On perfumed pillows
And walking nude
In the soothing summer rain
I’m taken aback
By your elegant loneliness
That pours off of you
In saturating waves
And threatens to drown me
In your loveliness
And river of tears.
I’m going
To look at you again
In the sunlight.
I’ll marry you
In a secret shrine
Following rituals
Kept hidden
By pagan priests
In the valley
Of flower worship
And erotic dreams.
I’ll dwell in you
For eternity.
Uriah Hamilton
