i wrote this dream for you & in the veins of our sleep, poems by Stephen Troyanovich

on the other side of the sky
bathed in softness
forever falls
filled with the music
of your voice…
somewhere nearing tomorrow’s pain
i feel your mouth
holding mine
beyond this lost earth
beyond the weeping gates
of the starmaiden
who is dream…

for Elizabeth

Le coeur n’a qu’une seule bouche.
----- Paul Eluard

i felt your lips
fill my dream
with a tenderness
and wonder.
i saw this earth
newly reborn
through the windows
of your eyes.
i touched
eternity’s landscape
with the fingers
of your mouth
while you wrapped me
in the veins of our sleep…
